GPS (using Directions) Reboots my Phone

Hello, have Samsung Galaxys Note 3 on Sprint Network. It is on stock Android 4.4.4 (no root). However whenever I use the GPS the phone at some point reboots. It could be after 10 minutes or 1/2 hour but will always reboot when using the GPS for directions. So instead of using the Google Maps GPS for driving directions I switched to Waze hoping that would cure it's ills, but it hasn't.

Otherwise the phone generally works fine. The GPS location while not perfect is generally pretty accurate. The only time I experience reboots is while navigating from point A to point B. It also doesn't seem to matter what the battery charge is. I've purchased a second battery and that doesn't seem to make a difference either.

I've had it for about 6 months (bought used on Swappa) and the phone is in otherwise excellent condition. I noticed a few weeks after I had the phone and loaded my apps.

Any help/insight appreciated.

Thanks,
Glenn
