Abstract
In the case of a system for marking a region within an image of a road map detail displayed on a vehicle video screen, the regions are shown in a circular shape. The center and the dimensions of the region can be changed by a control element, which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis and can be deflected transversely to the longitudinal axis. As a result of the transverse movement of the control element, the position of the center point and, as a result of the rotating movement of the control element, the dimensions of the region within the video screen, are adjustable.
