1. A method for displaying map information on a display device for a navigation system, comprising:
- providing map information for display on the display device, wherein the map information includes areas representing a top view of a map detail, and wherein the map information further includes lines representing traffic routes; and
generating a display of the areas representing the top view of the map detail in one of a two-dimensional view and a three-dimensional view,wherein the display of the areas representing the top view of the map detail is generated at least partially based on at least one of an aerial and satellite photograph, andwherein a resolution of the at least one of the aerial and satellite photograph is varied as a function of the map detail to be displayed and as a function of at least one structural parameter.
