That seems like enough prior art to invalidate much of what could conceivably be considered novel in the pending patent...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This comment confuses me a bit because Google Maps (at least in the US, in my experience) is really great about telling you what lane to be in.
I need to know what lane I'll need to be in next so I can plan in advance.
Any patent attorneys here know what exactly about this is "patent-able"?
Great idea and demo. My main gripe when using Google Maps in the car is lack of information about the next turns — when do I change lanes, and to which one? This could be natively addressed here, especially if the blue navigation line was a little thinner and showed which lane(s) the driver needs to take.

Absolutely honest question: what is the advantage of this over a top view navigation with the orientation following the orientation of movement? Am I missing something?
If you've ever been confused about which turn is which with top down navigation, then this is for you. While driving a car, being able to at a glance know exactly what turn is what would have saved me countless wrong turns, my parents probably doubly so. One classic: there's a fork in the road on the way to my parents. One side is "straight", the other side is an exit. I took the wrong, exit side of that several time…
I don't see much added value with this particular nausea-inducing approach. It falls into the category of "You should've thought less about whether you could and more about whether you should."
