I bought a IGrip for my TB and mounted it on my windshield of my car and I was wondering if its bad for the phone to get full sun. What I noticed it gets really hot when mount it.

Yes. Not only in navigation, but any time. There is no electronic device I know of that is spec'd for operation in the temps that will occur in full sunlight.

Don't leave it there for too long! I have tinted windows that help prevent sun exposure but I'm a bit hesitant to mount long. Good thing I'm rarely in my car for long periods of time.
