1. A system for providing a manipulatable graphical display comprising:
- a user input device responsive to a user input;
a cursor control device operably coupled to said user input device;
a menu engine operably coupled to said cursor control device;
a processor configured to communicate with a monitor and avionics data received from one or more data sources; and
control programming for processing an output received from said user input device and generating a cursor image positioned on a display in response to said output, said cursor image suitable for locking onto and tracing a path on said display, said path includes at least one predetermined flight plan routing segment, said cursor image includes a body component and an arm component connected to the body component, the body component including at least one of a circle or multi-lateral shape, the arm component being connected to the body component and overlays at least a portion of said at least one predetermined flight routing segment.

Abstract
A system for providing a manipulatable graphical display comprising a user input device responsive to a user input, a cursor control device operably coupled to the user input device, and a menu engine operably coupled to the cursor control device. The cursor control device is further configured to process an output received from the user input device and generate a cursor image positioned on a display in response to the user output suitable for locking onto and tracing a path on the display.

7. A method for providing a manipulatable graphical display comprising:
-
receiving a first input from an operator; transmitting a first output to a cursor control device based on the first input; providing movement instructions to a cursor image of the graphical display based on the first output; locking the cursor image onto a flight plan route of the graphical display, said cursor image includes a body component and an arm component connected to the body component, the body component including at least one of a circle or multi-lateral shape, the arm component being connected to the body component and overlays at least a portion of said flight plan route; and constraining movement of the cursor image exclusively along the flight plan route subsequent to locking the cursor image onto the flight plan route. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
