but there are some odd things in the rules, such as you can use a cell phone and hold it up to your ear, but cannot hold it for GPS usage.

Given how small the screens are you almost have to hold it up close to see anything.

The one thing all these laws show are the people who write them have little to no technical or operational knowledge of radio usage. Further what studies do they even consult, if any, to justify some of the stupid provisions in them.

I just have to laugh when watching YouTube videos of cops in a high speed chase doing 90+ MPH driving ONE HANDED while calling out direction and road intersections on the radio. You can clearly see it in the body cam footage. I sure would like to know what course they took to learn how to "safely"  drive like that, one handed using a radio, while the rest of us are considered a road hazard.
