True, when I need directions I used voice prompts from Google Maps on my iPhone.

Distraction yes, but over time and training it becomes an asset, you are not taking your eyes off the road like in the video posted by 1004ron when the guy hits the back of the UPS truck, as you can see in the video he took his eyes off the road to look down at maybe his speedo and when he looks back up there is the UPS truck, SMACK. We use the HUD displays all the time when flying, both in the military and commercially with no issues.

Me too, which is why I don't listen to music either.
And that Go Pro video...what happened to glancing at your speed? And I wouldn't do that anyway, not with a vehicle in front of me for that exact reason...they might stop or slow down.
