Dangers of iPhone use while driving, but NOT talking on the phone or texting

so how are GPS legal?

They are "legal" in the same way a map is. If you took out a map and put it in front of you while driving down the road, you could be ticketed for distracted driving. A passenger does it for you, and that does not happen. So, if you set up your GPS to give you directions to your next destination while stopped and off the road, no distracted driving. You do it while traveling down the road, then it is possible in many states to get that distracted driving ticket.

Sorry, I'd rather listen to a voice telling me to move into the right lane and glance at an already-open map mounted on the dash. I get plenty of warning. Plenty of time to get into position to make that turn. My peripheral vision will catch most of the action on the road.

I've tried to read the street names around that pulsing blue dot, to make sure I'm going to turn where I should. Not nearly as easy as using my iPhone Navigon app.
