Can you take a driving test with a chipped windshield?

I’ve been taking my driving lessons in my parents’ Toyota Highlander. It’s been super fun to drive, but I was driving yesterday, and some debris chipped the windshield. The chip is in the top right corner, so it’s not really in the way. Can I still take my driving test if my car has a chipped windshield?

Is there a safe way to use a GPS on your phone while you’re driving? I don’t want to get into trouble for looking down at my phone all the time while I’m driving but I need directions, especially when I’m driving in an area that I don’t know very well.
