Consulting the **GPS** while driving can be a significant source of **distraction**. Like using a mobile phone, the GPS requires the driver to divert their attention from the road to look at the screen and follow directions. This can lead to the driver not paying enough attention to what is happening around them, increasing the risk of accidents.

- **Distractions** occur when the driver focuses on something unrelated to driving, such as looking at an electronic device.
- Using the **GPS navigator** is one of the behaviors that can distract the driver, as it involves looking at a screen and possibly interacting with it, which diverts attention from the road.
- Although the GPS is a useful tool for navigation, its improper use while driving can be dangerous, similar to the risks associated with using a mobile phone.

For these reasons, it is important to minimize the use of the GPS while driving to maintain attention on the road and avoid potential accidents.
