How would a view like that work without a camera? It needs to see streets to display the map accurately since GOS could only be accurate within 5meters sometimes.

It doesn't have to be a full on quest marker HUD overlay, just being able to glance at a mirror of your phone's map display in your peripheral vision without taking it out of your pocket would be great.
