Abstract

A method of providing information relating to a path being travelled using a navigation apparatus, involves displaying a path bar including a linear representation of at least a portion of a path to be travelled using a navigation apparatus. The linear representation of the portion of the path is scrollable in the display window by a user to reveal a linear representation of another portion of the path. The method may involve automatically increasing a scale of the linear representation of the path displayed as a given location represented along the path is approached, wherein the location is a location of a safety camera or event affecting traffic flow along the path.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for providing information to users of navigation devices. The invention also extends to a navigation device arranged to carry out the method of the invention. The illustrative embodiments of the invention relate to navigation equipment in the form of portable navigation devices (so-called PNDs) comprising global navigation satellite signal reception and processing functionality and to methods of operating such devices. The invention is also applicable to a navigation apparatus and method of operating the apparatus forming part of an integrated navigation system, eg an in-vehicle navigation system. Background technique [0002] The invention is directed to a method of providing information, such as itinerary, traffic or navigation information, to a user of a navigation device, and to a navigation device arranged to carry out the steps of the method according to an embodiment of the invention. The na...
