Because I've actually used a GPS. The verbal instructions are far less distracting than watching for street signs than looking for traffic. Try it some time.

No. I use Siri on my iPhone and in GPS mode it's completely eyes-free. Everything I've heard says that Android is significantly better in this department.
. Distracted driving is a real issue, and it's not just GPS - even using bluetooth to take or make a call increases the accident rate significantly.
Separate topic.
??? Why would people listen to their GPS if they know where they're going? Are they blind:?
... They know where they're going because they're getting vocal instructions. How can you not understand this??
vaccines have to be mandatory as freedom has nothing to do with prideful ignorance that is a threat to safety of and well being others
get it shitbag?
Radio and AC can be worked entirely by feel. You can adjust them without turning on the interior lights - you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Smartphones don't work that way.
Umm.... Yes, they do. Both Android and iPhone. I'd even wager that modern Windows and Blackberry phones do, too.
And the only people I've seen using a mounted GPS were using a tablet, not a phone. And they only used it to figure out their route - not to get instructions in real time.
Welp, that explains why you're so ill-informed on how smartphone-based GPS apps work.
Did you forget how many people had accidents because their GPS said "Turn Right Now", so they did?
Yes I did because that number hasn't even shown statistical significance and is further muddied by people not getting into accidents because they know where they're going, leaving them to pay attention to the little voice instead of craning their necks to find street signs.
True, but my programmer-side was nitpicking his assumptions from the language used.
Here it's an offense even to even have the phone in your hand while driving - and they've just upped it to 4 demerit points. So no, unless the phone is in some sort of a mount, you can't use it as a GPS while driving.
I'm not sure why you're saying 'no' here. "In a mount" is exactly how people use their phones for GPS. In other words... yes you bloody well can use your phone this way and it works really well. In fact, California recently made it legal to put a suction cup on your windshield for exactly this reason.
Pull over to the side of the road and take the time to figure out where you are so you don't cause an accident.
Could you please go into detail about how you've taken the radio and environmental controls out of your car so you can teach us by example?
That means the odds are zero or greater, not one to one like you're implying.
Did you get your statisics from back before GPS devices read their instructions out loud?
wait, you're stalking my other posts? and you think heroin is like a vaccine?
of course any vaccine should be thoroughly tested before they inject it into anyone you raving moron
it's not like they are grabbing people and injecting them with experimental formulations. the science on this is well-established and there is a rigorous review process before anyone gets injected
you are a fearmongering, pridefully ignorant wackjob. you need to get and your kids your fucking vaccine and if you do not you ARE a health threat to us so we WILL save your kids and the rest of us from your dangerous ignorance, you irresponsible asshole
go live in the mountains and never have kids. if you won't do that, do what you have to do to be part of society you dumb fuck
We didn't have vaccines for most of our nations history and those diseases never posed more than a passing threat to our society.
go to an old graveyard
look at the old tombstones
look at the ages
you're a pridefully ignorant asshole and your stupidity is dangerous to the rest of us
You're an ignorant fucking neckbearded window licker.
oh shut the fuck up you ignorant fucking waste of air.
You're thinking of Samsung. Apple's upgrade cycle is yearly.
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
