People have been adjusting their radio or briefly looking at maps or other things while driving for decades, you know.
As long as you do it right and with the right timing and attention ... there isn't any risk involved.
Personally, for my job, I constantly do the following things while driving:
drinking, eating, calling hands-free, looking at GPS maps, looking at my toughbook on the passenger seat to see phone numbers or addresses, etc ...
Never had any problems while driving ... furthermore cyclists and pedestrians in general are very friendly to me because I almost always let them go first.
