Abstract
A vehicle parking assistance system is based on presenting a bird's eye view. The display has an input interface such as a touch-input display or a remote input device such as a joystick. In this case, by selecting a desired position on the display (which is presenting an image of an object or location in space for which the driver is wanting to know the range), the user is able to request a distance calculation between the vehicle and that location in space. The distance information can be provided as an audible message and/or as a visual overlay message onto the bird's eye view.
