The Netherlands bans all holding of mobile phones, enabled or not. Pressing something like "alternative route" is allowed (in the same sense as operating the radio) but only when the device is firmly attached to the car like in a mount.

The law has basically been extended to cover possibly non-dangerous holding of mobile phones to lighten the burden of proof.
