kinda stupid i think, looking up while driving?

you will probably still get a ticket if a cop sees this. might not be illegal due to technicalities but im sure you will get a ticket. which will probalby be dropped in court.

"...yeah man... I've got a 10.4" non-touch screen Nav system...."
What's the point? Maybe if you have bad eye sight and need a screen that big, but if that's the case, you shouldn't be on the road anyways.

Just curious, how can they charge you for using the NAV while driving? How else will you know where you're going? lol Isn't that the whole point?

ive never heard of being charge to look at your gps lmao maybe a map while your driving. but if its possible to get charged to have an active gps in a car they wouldnt sell it.

why put it on an overhead display??? why not a flip out deck with touch screen and built in gps or something. would work out better i think
