A 590 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits installation of GPS navigation devices which do not obstruct motor vehicle operator's vision.

This bill permits drivers in New Jersey to mount GPS navigation devices on a vehicle's dashboard, console, or windshield, as long as the device does not obstruct the driver's view. It directly affects drivers who use GPS systems by removing previous restrictions that might have prohibited such installations. The key provision amends existing law to allow these mounting positions while requiring the device not to unduly interfere with the operator's vision. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
