No, not in the grand scheme of things (it's an irrelevance) but by the same argument neither do the street names, I don't know what it is with the "I must see the street names" OCD thing, lol
BTW no offence intended (to anyone) and I'm not having a go or trying to get a flame response, I just don't see the point of the map screen filled with street names, I know where I am, I use the route function if i don't. Like I said horses for courses. you like 2d, I like the 3d, you say tomato I say tom-ar-toe. P.S welcome to the forums.

Well, because many, many times people are following directions (not necessarily using spoken navigation) and like to look on the map to see when the street they're looking for is coming up. A street map without street names is a pretty ridiculous concept. I might be driving down a big, long street in my own neighborhood and looking to make a turn at a certain cross street. Since I don't know ALL of the cross streets and where they are, but I DO know that it's coming up soon, the obvious thing to do is... (go ahead, take a guess) watch the names of the streets on the map so I know when my turn is coming up

I know they are not popular in the US (i was over there driving a few years ago) but here in the UK and Europe we have road/street signs at both ends of the road/street, so if we need the road/street name, we just look up. If that was the need I'd turn on 2d find what i needed then turn on 3d, it's like 2 pushes and a twist. Thanks the the insight though

You've obviously never driven through downtown Manhattan in rush hour (lucky you)

I also find 3D view with splitscreen the most useful. The lack of street names doesn't really bother me since I typically don't have the time to read the street names to determine when to turn...by then it's usually too late. I tend to look at the map to determine if it's directing me to take the next turn or turn in 2 streets, etc. On the few occasions when I need to understand the street to turn on...it's displayed on the right side of split view. Like folks are saying...it's an individual choice thing.
