Abstract
The invention relates to a method, a map providing device, a computer program and a computer program product for presenting a digital map via a map presenting unit of a user terminal. An object (01) and a first position (P1) of this object are obtained together with a digital map (M1) comprising a reference position (RP) and the first position (P1). A line (L1) is determined, which at one end is to be connected to the reference position and at another opposite end to the first position. Then a geographical area (A1) of the digital map including the reference position is presented. If the first position (P1) is outside of the geographical area then a part (L1A) of the line stretching through the geographical area is presented. If not no line is presented. The appearance of the line when presented is dependent on the distance between the reference position and the first position.
