What happens when the GPS runs continuously (more than 5 hours) in an Android device? Can it cause the battery or GPS receiver to overheat? Will it be able to keep determining my location correctly the entire time?

Unless you have your phone hooked up to a car battery, your phone will run out of charge.– Chinmay KanchiNov 5, 2012 at 9:55

1If you turn on GPS, Android will use it every once in a while to get a position. If you use an app that will request a GPS location continuously then the only thing that will probably happen is that you run out of battery soon. Heating should not be a problem.– THelperNov 5, 2012 at 9:56

Mainly there should not be any hardware problems if the unit was tested correctly.
For other information you can use this application that has also power monitoring for GPS.
