Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for providing navigation assistance through an improved countdown bar in a user interface of a mapping application. In an example embodiment, the method may include obtaining a list of maneuvers for navigation to a destination location on the route. The list of maneuvers may include at least an upcoming maneuver and a following maneuver. The method may further include displaying by a display unit, at least the upcoming maneuver and the following maneuver and a countdown bar such that the display of the countdown bar is integrated with the display of the upcoming maneuver. The countdown bar may indicate a distance of travel between a current location and an intermediate location corresponding to the upcoming maneuver. The method may further include dynamically updating the display unit based on the distance of travel between the current location and the intermediate location.
