Abstract
A method of providing information relating to a path being travelled using a navigation apparatus, involves displaying a path bar including a linear representation of at least a portion of a path to be travelled using a navigation apparatus. The linear representation of the portion of the path is scrollable in the display window by a user to reveal a linear representation of another portion of the path. The method may involve automatically increasing a scale of the linear representation of the path displayed as a given location represented along the path is approached, wherein the location is a location of a safety camera or event affecting traffic flow along the path.
