California Court Says Using Mapping Apps Behind The Wheel Is Okay

Many states, California included, have passed strict laws in recent years meant to reduce distracted driving caused by cell phones. However, the laws lag behind the technology, and that has led to some conflicting opinions on what the statutes mean. After some legal wrangling, a California court of appeals has ruled that it is not illegal to use mapping software while driving.

The case stems from a ticket issued to a driver back in 2012.
