Bing Maps had an experimental feature like that as a print option at one time. It was a chicken scratch map and included the intersecting roads where you needed to change direction.

- gnat 5y agoI think because Maneesh Agrawala, who created LineDrive, was at Microsoft after completing his PhD thesis (which was basically LineDrive). He's done huge amounts of really interesting work -- one of my absolute favourite CS researchers. He's worked on cropping videos using gaze tracking, making architectural models from photographs, usability analysis and design systems for isometric assembly instructions, text editing of talking head videos, and more. Most things he does have an element of magic to them. Current homepage: http://graphics.stanford.edu/~maneesh/ http://graphics.stanford.edu/~maneesh/

It’s too bad no one has taken this navigational representation as a legitimate option and only see it as a curiosity of sorts. But it’s probably due to the reliance on mobile maps and voiced directions and the low usage of printed directions these days.
