Instead, the perspective should be along a vector connecting your current location with the point where the navigation's path crosses the edge of the display, pointing straight up.

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.

Took me a while to figure out what you're saying, now I assume you're using the "up is direction of motion"?
I use map view / north is up, which makes it reasonably easy to get he big picture - I encourage everybody to try it :).
