I have a vent phone holder and the AC is blowing right on it. It is cool to the touch, but it still goes dead after about 2 or 3 hours. I have a handfree bluetooth device in my car so usually I'm plugged into Bluetooth as well. I guess it draws more power than the car charger can send it?

The thing to check next time is whether or not the charger stops charging the device. ...which will happen if the battery gets too hot. If it's just a matter of your draw being greater than the charger's ability to charge, then you might set your backlight to a lower level when using your GPS program...like if you have Lumos, its super easy to set a custom backlight level for a specific program. That should reduce your power draw and may balance things out.
