I knew the route anyway, but I appreciate nav systems like the 2014 Kia Forte's that use clear graphics to tell you, in not so many words, "dummy, stay in your lane, stay on this highway." It shows up only for a half-mile or so before the navigation point, but I find it easier to process this kind of graphic direction than reading from a list of actions.

Also a commendable job of loading the screen with information, yet keeping most of it to the left-hand periphery.
