U.S. Gov Bans Truckers from Texting
Nobody has yet to answer this
What about other non-voice functions? Things like the navigator, mp3 player, or other apps? Is there any evidence that using a phone for a GPS is any more risky than using a standalone GPS? Just about every trucker has satellite radio, what about using the Sirius/XM app or a streaming service?
I understand the spirit of the law, but it's just too hard to enforce.

I think using an mp3 player or gps device is equivelent to tuning a car stereo. Texting requires more attention. I know personally I have gone miles while texting and then thought 'wow how did I get here'... I think that was stupid of me...

I agree, and I am not pointing fingers here - but what about Smoking, Changing the radio station, adjusting the heating/cooling, etc. All these are distractions also - so why just pinpoint texting? It makes the cellphone industry look we are to blame.
I understand and agree that texting and driving, talking and driving, etc is bad to do and has killed lives, but people do other things then just text/drive & text and it also has killed lives.
