The MP, who lives in Clapham, was caught driving with the device in London in April.
Security minister and Tory MP Tom Tugendhat has been banned from driving for six months after he was caught driving with his mobile phone in his hand.
Judge Jack McGarva said at Westminster Magistrates' Court: "Using a mobile phone in any way is a distraction.He told the politician: "I would expect you to set a good example for the rest of us." She said the officer confirmed Mr Tugendhat was not using the phone to call emergency services and "it was confirmed that they were using maps".Defending, Paul Morris said his client accepted he would face a driving ban and did not offer any mitigation of "exceptional hardship" that would be caused by the ban.
