Abstract

A method for operating a vehicle operating system, wherein a navigation system provides map information, and a monitoring system monitors driver assistance information, which are displayed on a display device, wherein the navigation system, the monitoring system, the display device, and an operating device are coupled to a control device for data transfer, to display the map information and/or driver assistance information on the display, wherein an operating action is carried out by the operating device in order to change a display scale and/or a display angle in relation to a road surface between a first perspective and a second perspective, wherein the display scale and/or angle are adjusted continuously and/or discretely in at least two steps located within the two perspectives on a virtual visualization path, and wherein the first perspective is substantially perpendicular to the road surface and the second perspective is substantially parallel to the road surface.
