Can you use a GPS while driving?

Using a GPS while driving is permissible, provided that it does not distract you from the primary task of operating the vehicle safely. It’s essential to maintain full attention on the road and your surroundings, so incorporating GPS navigation should be done in a way that minimizes any potential distractions.

When utilizing a GPS device, drivers should ideally pre-set destinations before starting their journey or use voice commands to minimize physical interaction with the device while driving. This practice aligns with safe driving principles, which emphasize the importance of focusing on driving responsibilities without compromising safety.

While some might think it's better to pull over to adjust settings or navigate, it's still considered acceptable to use GPS if done responsibly. However, if the GPS requires significant manual input or your attention distracts from driving, pulling over to adjust the settings would be the safer choice.
