I think the idea is to present geographic information as text only,
relative to your current position. It could be useful for blind people
when combined with a speech synthesizer, or useful to compare map data
with reality hands free while driving. I don't see much use for it as a
text presentation because I can't imagine there are many devices out
there that can connect to a GPS, but can't show a rudamentary map image.
