Yahoo and mapquest maps are great, but they only give you a bird's eye view map. In the directions, they list each turn you make.
It would be nice to have a photo of each turn, exactly as you would see it when you are driving, in the directions. They could photoshop in a big arrow pointing the
correct direction.
At first they could simply do the highways and major intersections of large cities, and add more as they go on.

I think the video route is too much, but still images are just the right size and the right amount of information. |

These are called landmark systems and there is a lot of research giong on about them both for navigating physical and virtual spaces. |
