battery very hot while using Google maps

[nelhop]

I have not had occasion to seek directions for travel using my Nexus 5 before. Today I needed directions and used Google Maps for no more than 5 minutes. The device became very hot. After I shut down the directions I looked at the battery information on the app battery notifier BT free. It said discharging, temp/health 118F/overheat. I was taken by surprise. Should I have expected that much heat from using Google Maps directions for such a short time?

It would be difficult to think of any app that would cause so much heat in such a short time. Have you cleared app Cached Data of late, or wiped the Cache Partition? Those may help.
