Abstract

A method of controlling a display of geographical data to assist in the navigation of a mobile platform (such as a train, ship, aircraft or automobile) is provided. The method includes determining a map associated with the navigation of the mobile platform into or out of a terminal and generating a primary display based on the map. The primary display displays at least a portion of the map to assist in the navigation of the mobile platform. The method also includes generating a context display if the portion of the map displayed does not include all of the map. The context display includes the entire map with an indicator of the portion of the map displayed in context to the primary display.
