    I’m using organic maps, and a simple phone holder does the trick in the car. No need for the on-screen navigation.

      Cops will give a ticket for distracted driving if a phone is used even in navigation. The screen is a safety feature.

        What? As long as I program the route before starting and don’t touch my phone until I arrive, nothing happens.

          Nothing to do with touching it. If it’s presently in use in any way they will ticket for distracted driving. Some people are even pstd if someone beside the driver is using their phone. The screen provided way to circumvent this issue.

            In which country is that? I’ve used my phone for navigation for the last 10 years or so without issues.

              I have too before the screen. Australia and Canada the police will go as far as grab your bag and dig out your phone and call you distracted. I’ve had one spot my phone over in my passengers seat (unused) and attempt to accuse me of being distracted by it.
