Abstract

A method for program-controlled display of an electronic map image on a screen (S) of an agriculture machine (AV), which includes a position finding system (GPS) and a screen operating computer (SOC) which has access to map information (MI) directly or via a radio data transmission channel (RC, RRC). The map information (MI) is accessed as a function of the machine location (LI) determined at any given time and is processed for a map image display. The map information (MI) contains driving and/or cultivation data of the land to be driven over or cultivated and these data are processed automatically selectively into the respective location-related map image display, in each case as a function of respective operating parameters (DT, VS, LPS, PS, EI) of the machine.
