The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Halo: a technique for visualizing off-screen objects (2003, background): “RELATED WORK IN VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES A substantial amount of research has been done on navigation aids, such as techniques for displaying driving [ 2 ] or walking directions [7].”
Visualizing Thought (2011, background): “It has already provided cognitive design principles—paths and turns are important; exact angles and distances are not—for creating a highly successful algorithm for on-line on-demand route directions (Agrawala & Stolte, 2001).”
Automatically generating personalized user interfaces with Supple (2010, methodology): “For example, LineDrive system [3] uses optimization to generate driving maps that emphasize the most relevant information for any particular route.”
Flow map layout (2005, background): “Our work is related to Agrawala and Stolte [1], who studied hand-drawn route maps to understand the principles that made them effective.”
