Ithaca DWI Lawyer: Is Using My Cell Phone for GPS or an APP Illegal in New York?


People are often confused by New York State's cell phone law. First, it's NOT just phones, it is ANY electronic device. This can include: any potentially handheld device, iPod, Nano, GPS, iPad, walkman, and of course a smartphone. Is using a handheld device with an APP like WAZE illegal as well? Would that infraction (using your phone like a GPS) be a 5 point moving violation in New York State?
