Prior research has shown that looking away from the road on an in-vehicle display negatively affects driving performance [1]. The same problem exists with personal navigation devices (PNDs) [2]. In order to keep visual attention on the road, an augmented reality (AR) PND can be used, which uses a head-up display (HUD) and overlays the navigation route on the road. In this paper, we compare AR PND with a standard map-based PND (SPND) and an egocentric street view (SV) PND. Results indicate that AR PND facilitated better visual attention and was preferred by participants
