More realistically, the counterpart of a LineDrive map in current route instructions is the list-of-turns representation: drive straight ahead for 12 miles, turn left into Whatever Ave., after 2 miles east turn right into Something St.
Once you allow for more space and include maps with details for all points of interest (i.e., all complicated intersections), both LineDrive and sequence-of-turns are only interesting as an addition, not necessarily as a replacement.
