1. A method of creating a navigation illustration comprisingdetermining a path from a start point to an end point;
- obtaining an illustration of the path;
determining significant changes in the path to be stored;
determining points of interest in the path to be stored;
determining segments of the path that do not contain significant changes or points of interest to be stored;
selecting a first speed for displaying the segments of the path that do not contain the significant changes or the points of interest;
selecting a second speed for displaying segments of the illustration of the path that contain the significant changes or the points of interest;
adding annotations that highlight the significant changes to the path or the points of interest;
adjusting the displaying of the segments toward the significant changes or the points of interest in advance by an anticipation factor further comprising rotating or expanding the view toward the significant change; and
storing the navigation illustration in a memory

Abstract
The illustration may have a separate display window that displays illustrations which may be moving illustration related to the current spot on the map or to future spots on the map. The illustration may be viewed while traveling or may be viewed in advance. The moving illustration may display segments of the travel path with points of interest and substantial changes at a slow speed and/or low altitude and may display segments without points of interest and/or few substantial changes at a high speed and or high altitude.

12. A method of displaying a navigation illustration comprising:
-
determining a path from a start point to an end point; determining significant changes in the path; determining points of interest in the path; determining segments of the path that do not contain significant changes or points of interest; displaying segments of an illustration of the path that do not contain the significant changes or the points of interest at a first speed; displaying segments of the illustration of the path that contain the significant changes or the points of interest at a second speed; determining if a point of interest is in a relevant future point; if point of view is in a relevant future, directing a view of a separate display toward the point of interest by an anticipation factor; displaying annotations related to the point of interest; determining if a significant change in the path is in the relevant future; if the significant change in the path is in the relevant future, directing or expanding a view of the separate display toward the point of interest by the anticipation factor; displaying annotations related to the significant changes in the path; allowing the illustration to be skipped ahead by a time factor or to an additional point of interest or to an additional significant change - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
