If you install a GPS software on your phone, please follow these guidelines before and when using your phone as a GPS device. Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior. Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could cause damage to the phone or pose a risk to the vehicle.
