Speed dependent variable range display system
First Claim
1. A speed dependent variable moving-map vehicle display system, comprising;
- a data conversion module for converting a vehicle speed input signal to a distance range value;
an application module for utilizing vehicle position information, input geographical information, direction of vehicle movement information, and said distance range value to provide scaled output geographical information; and
a moving-map display for displaying the scaled output geographical information, vehicle position information, and direction of vehicle movement information and wherein a range of the moving-map display varies dynamically dependent on the distance range value.

Abstract
The speed dependent variable display system for a computer-implemented moving-map vehicle display system includes a data conversion module for converting a vehicle speed input signal to a distance range value; and, an application module for utilizing the distance range value, vehicle position information, vehicle direction of movement information, and input geographical information to provide scaled output geographical information. The scaled output geographical information is utilized to provide a situational awareness display which is optimized in accordance with the vehicle'"'"'s position, direction of movement and speed. A display apparatus receives the scaled output geographical information to provide an optimized situational awareness display for a moving-map vehicle display system.
