Add to the HUD in some cars, the ability to overlay ghostly labels and arrows for nav and to identify landmarks, buildings, entrances, etc...

Instead of just hearing "Turn right, turn right, ding!" have an arrow that overlays the turn.

Should be toggle-able.

Take a look at the new BMW 5 series HUD system... I'm not sure if the landmark identification is in there, but it's capable enough, and it's got the information it would need.
