There are uses for maps that that don't even involve cars at all! I know I've spend a fair amount of time just browsing around.

Not all drivers are driving cars. Some 'drivers' are actually on foot. A driver is someone both navigating and controlling their movement, requiring different type of map than a passenger or wandering tourist who cares more about seeing lots of place names and interesting landmarks. The driver wants/needs an uncluttered display that can be scanned for vital information quickly.
