Method for agricultural map image display
First Claim
1. In a method for a program-controlled display of an electronic map image on a screen of an agricultural machine, which includes the steps of determining the machine location from a position finding system, determining the direction of travel of the machine, accessing map information as a function of the machine location, processing the map information and displaying on the screen a map image of the area of the machine location, the improvement comprising:
- accessing map information containing data of the land to be traversed, sensing operating parameters of the machine, processing the data as a function of at least one of the operating parameters and automatically selecting the related map image display.

Abstract
A method for program-controlled display of an electronic map image on a screen (S) of an agriculture machine (AV), which includes a position finding system (GPS) and a screen operating computer (SOC) which has access to map information (MI) directly or via a radio data transmission channel (RC, RRC). The map information (MI) is accessed as a function of the machine location (LI) determined at any given time and is processed for a map image display. The map information (MI) contains driving and/or cultivation data of the land to be driven over or cultivated and these data are processed automatically selectively into the respective location-related map image display, in each case as a function of respective operating parameters (DT, VS, LPS, PS, EI) of the machine.

11. A method for map image display on a screen of an agricultural machine including the steps of:
-
determining the machine location from a position finding system; selecting at least one operating parameter related to machine speed and continuously feeding said operating parameter to a screen operating computer; processing said operating parameter relating to machine speed and, as a function thereof and of machine location, automatically selecting map information from a data bank containing data about the land being traversed; and displaying selected cartographic objects on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A method for map image display on a screen of an agricultural machine including the steps of:
-
determining the machine location from a position finding system; selecting at least one operating parameter related to machine speed and continuously feeding said operating parameter to a screen operating computer; processing said operating parameter and, as a function thereof and of machine location, automatically selecting map information from a data bank containing data about the land being traversed; displaying selected cartographic objects on the screen; overriding an actual operative state by an operating instruction and processing the map information according to another operative state; storing in each case a general map image and a map image segment selected according to the machine speed in processed form; selectively displaying on the screen as a function of an operator instruction one of the two map images, one of the items of map information being digitally stored three-dimensional map information; converting the three-dimensional map information to a virtual reality terrain image as a function of the respective machine location and of the terrain gradient; and displaying said virtual image on the screen.
