The UI on my Pioneer GPS from 2009 was way better than the current UIs on Google, Here and Waze maps. I like the distance indicator as you approach a turn.

I suspect these UI elements are patented and Google/Here don't want to pay to incorporate them into their apps. After having and Android head unit, I think I'd rather go back to a Pioneer dedicated nav unit with Bluetooth connection to my cell/music.
