Took me a while to figure out what you're saying, now I assume you're using the "up is direction of motion"?
replyI use map view / north is up, which makes it reasonably easy to get he big picture - I encourage everybody to try it :).
That seems very wrong and unintuitive for U-turns.
replyIt does.
replyLet us embrace this minor imperfection by simply excluding U-turns from this presentation method.
So why not use 2D maps, have people lost the ability to read North up maps? I swear ever since paper maps have not been used in cars, people have gotten spatially dumber.
replyI love north-up maps because I find they give me way better spatial context. My truck’s nav system gives north-up as an option but my phone and my truck map both suffer from the same problem on different axes. My phone sits in its holder vertically, so I have way more north-south context than east-west. The truck screen is landscape, same problem north-south! A square map north-up would be amazing!
