It shows a simple flat picture of the intersection oriented from the car's direction with the exact path to take overlayed on the map view when it is time to turn. It is extremely helpful for things like traffic circles where four or even five exits may exist.

I should've clarified, but this is more for foot transportation.
I find walking with the map on auto-rotate mode helps friends with spatial orientation problems find their way, as does using sat view. Personally, I prefer "North Up" view, even in automobile GPS. I find this improves imprinting of location and orientation through the spatial relationships, leaving me better able to navigate without the GPS.

Don't show street view, show the camera's feed and correlate it with street view, the GPS position and the compass in order to superimpose directions on the image. Light condition changes would be a pretty tough problem to solve though.
Isn't it extraordinary that you're carrying a device powerful enough to make your suggestion plausible?
