Abstract

A navigation apparatus for spatially representing a digital map section around a geographical position on the earth's surface on the basis of digital geodata, wherein the digital geodata have height information, having a first input interface for the digital geodata; a second input interface for coordinates of the geographical position; a third input interface for a perspective stipulation variable corresponding to a desired viewing direction of the position; a processor module which is coupled to the first, second and third input interfaces; and an output interface coupled to the processor module and intended to output output data corresponding to the projection of the geodata which can be visually perceived in different ways and corresponds to the height information.
