Probably standard option in all, but mine offers 2D (helicopter) or 3D (truck driver!) views. Love the 3D view and being able to adjust the extent of the view and having it auto-adjusting depending on speed. Speed up, display widens appropriately, slow down and it shrinks.
Day and nightime views:- I'm often on the road at sunrise and sunset and it clicks over precisely on the local sunrise/sunset times! Also it will click to nighttime view if it believes that you have entered a significant tunnel. And even though it loses the satellite signal, it predicts your path through the tunnel based on constant speed (= your entry speed) until it regains signal. Haven't stopped in a tunnel yet to see what it does when it thinks it should be finding the satellites again!
And I like the way it doesn't know which way you are pointing unless it can detect how you have moved recently - drive under a substantial bridge structure with multiple exit options (like a freeway flyover/interchange) and the display can spin 360 deg trying to work out what has happened!
Fun with technology. Wish it would watch the road for me while I'm watching it!
