A nice moment in Google Maps – if you are travelling by public transit, an indicator shows not just the current stop on the list in real time, but also exactly where you are in between stops:

It’s not just something traditionally delightful, a cute big icon moving smoothly. I also think it’s very helpful. Travelling in a new place can be stressful and station names look similar; it’s nice to orient yourself without having to go back to the map, and if the indicator only always pointed to a station, it would introduce off-by-one errors (“was it the last station, or is it the next one”)?

Plus, I think any design features that help your brain transition between abstract (list) and physical (map) views are very welcome.

My suggestion would be to consider making it pulsating and/or blue to tie it better together with the current GPS position, which has had the same visual signature since 2007.
