But I can't manipulate the phone for navigation.. But I can manipulate the car's on-board nav system.

Honestly, the law is easy to work around: don't hold the phone above door-sill level.. Still the lots of corner cases for enforcement that I hope are used appropriately.

Where I am, you're expected to be 24/7/365. I'm pretty sure I'd be hung if I was on a 3-hour cross country and didn't read my texts.

Note, I'm not for texting and driving - but the laws are goofy. I can use factory navigation, but can't use navigation with my phone? I've got a motard motorcycle which is probably on the ragged-edge of street legal. It's speedometer IS my GPS-enabled phone. In some municipalities, I can be ticketed for having the speedometer "on"? Really?

And then we've got cars with Heads-Up-Displays...
