Inception-style curved map for turn-by-turn directions

Looks ok but easy to get lost literally into the weeds of the vegetation.

Navigation needs to be low cognitive overhead to have mass appeal. There's a reason why people do not navigate with satellite or photo real maps. This is an interesting projection and visualization but doesn't have much practical value.

This is great but also i want to vomit

gave me motion sickness in the turns, but i guess i should be looking at the real road

This would be an insane video game map.

This is pretty intuitive and useful, I think. I would suggest swapping to an angle equal to half the angle of the turn once your approach is within a certain distance, to show the user what is coming up around that turn. Frequently you need to turn then turn, so seeing 'ahead' a bit would be cool

Zero chance you can patent this though.

Spent 20 seconds on it.

Very cool idea. I was on board until the first turn, then I just felt seasick.

Does it come with barf bags, or at least a discount coupon?

Good luck with that patent.

ok this is nice

Bad ass. Nicely done.

Finally something new and shiny. Looks promising.

Cute. Only runs at about 1fps on my 5yo LG phone but it's a miracle it runs at all.

What problem does it solve tho ?

What the hell is "right drag"?

This would look great on an iPad mini running as the vehicle display.

And likely in most EVs.

It's completely wild that they're trying to patent a visualization that already existed in multiple movies.

Does anyone else hate how Google Maps zooms in right before a turn?

Yeah go ahead and completely change the scale of what I’m looking at a night quite predictable time just as I’m about to need the map the most to make a turn on a street I’m not familiar with

Absolutely fucking brilliant idea

This is why I use Apple Maps and thankfully in the Bay Area it’s more than at parity, it’s frankly better

All that said, this UI is actually awesome - just needs a little tweaking for the turn animation but I’d 100% use this - incredibly intuitive

Cool idea, but it feels more suited for pedestrians or cyclists moving at a slower pace. Not sure this format would work well in a car, since you can't really see the whole road ahead. At 100 km/h, you need to grasp the route and upcoming turns quickly and this view might not give you enough time to get in the right lane. Still, props to them for trying something new.
