It is actually illegal to use your phone's GPS while driving.
Phone apps can lead you to jail
But does that mean using your GPS while driving is illegal as well (if the principal behind this law is to get you to focus on the road - using the GPS is illegal as well) ?
Then again if you get stopped by the TP could you say that you were listening to your GPS ?
On a side note - In that case, the terminal on Taxis should be removed because it beeps the taxi driver very often to alert them to pickup requests - the taxi driver would have to look for the address on the screen and hit the button to accept or reject the job.
This implies it's safe for taxi drivers to look at the their screens very often but it's not safe for regular drivers to use their smartphone gps because it's not safe.
