I had in mind (and it'll probably stay in mind!) a renderer which showed 
you a ground level view of the street you were "moving" along with 
upcoming turnings and so on, like a satnav display, which showed 
signposts - no right turn, this way to Amarillo - and a 30 sign as you 
entered a 30 area (not a 52.12345 sign).
