Abstract
The present invention is a graphical user interface with a panning window interface that allows presentation of a high-level view of a dense graphical map structure simultaneously with a detailed sub-portion of the dense graphical map structure. The graphical user interface provides a movable panning window that allows an operator to select the portion of the overall map structure to view in detail. The detailed view of the selection portion of the overall map structure is presented in a detail panel of the screen. Enhancements to the panning window interface include highlighting of map structure elements on the screen selectable via a highlight selection menu or search and highlight capability.
