Method and device for displaying a map

Abstract

Abstract The representation (1) of a map is divided into regions (3, 4, 5 and 6) which are concentric with the vehicle position at a central point (2). Region 3 immediately around point 2 is represented at small scale, i.e. in great detail. Regions 4 to 6 are shown at a larger scale which increases linearly or quadratically with distance from the vehicle. As the vehicle moves, its location is determined and the map representation is updated with the regions at different scales centred on the new vehicle position. The regions may be circular or elliptical, elongated in the direction of travel of the vehicle.
