I have to disagree.
I have my Sat Nav mounted on the bars so it's just to the left of the clocks meaning it doesn't get in my line of sight and, when it's safe, I'll take a quick glance down to see the layout of an upcoming junction or the name/ designation of the next road I'm going to be using.
This is a useful backup because sometimes the audio instructions lag behind my actual position on the road or give directions which can be confusing perhaps because the road layout has been changed and not yet updated or there are two possible left turns ahead and it's not clear which one it means.
Yes, people should use the Sat Nav sensibly (and not follow its instructions blindly) but blanket bans on having the screen working whilst moving won't help.
