+1 - The Perspective view shows a great deal more about what is ahead, and the view matches my visual expectations. Like Kiwi says, the split screen with the road and turn instructions marries up with the better perspective view to give the best usability of the nav. I use perspective exclusively, and I use the nav all the time. Having road names in perspective is a plus, but it is not critical to the use of that screen view.
