I've driven with Glass and on a trip where I'm not sure of the turns, it is much safer than looking at my phone for GPS instructions.

It sits above my field of vision and is no more distracting that the frames of my glasses.

When Glass is in nav mode, that's all it does. Shows you the next turn and/or the route overview.

And to be clear, since you didn't say it, the screen is off between those turns. It also gives you audible directions just as any other GPS would, so you don't have to look at it.
