1. Method to display a registered driving path image upon a transparent windscreen head-up display in a source vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring an operating environment of the source vehicle travelling upon a road surface, comprising;
monitoring a location of the source vehicle through a global positioning device, anddetermining a geometry of the road surface proximate to the source vehicle based upon the location of the source vehicle and a three dimensional map database;
monitoring a driver registration input;
determining a registered driving path image defining a recommended plot for the source vehicle to use for travel upon a given section of the road surface based upon the operating environment of the source vehicle and the driver registration input, comprising;
when the given section of the road surface comprises a curved section, the registered driving path image including a closest point to an inside edge of the curved section that the source vehicle should reach during a turning maneuver through the curved section to enable a maximum desired vehicle speed at an exit of the curved section;
when the source vehicle operates upon public roads;
monitoring a driving priority;
monitoring historical driving paths cross-referenced with the driving priority, wherein the registered driving path image is based upon the historical driving paths; and
displaying the registered driving path image upon the head-up display.

15. System to display a registered driving path image upon a transparent windscreen head-up display in a source vehicle, comprising:
-
a transparent windscreen head-up display; an enhanced vision system monitoring an operating environment of the source vehicle travelling upon a road surface, comprising; monitoring a location of the source vehicle through a global positioning device, and determining a geometry of the road surface proximate to the source vehicle based upon the location of the source vehicle and a three dimensional map database, monitoring a driver registration input, and determining a registered driving path image for a given section of the road surface based upon the operating environment of the source vehicle and the driver registration input, comprising when the given section of the road surface comprises a curved section, the registered driving path image including a closest point to an inside edge of the curved section that the source vehicle should reach during a turning maneuver through the curved section to enable a maximum desired vehicle speed at an exit of the curved section; when the source vehicle operates upon public roads; monitoring a driving priority; monitoring historical driving paths cross-referenced with the driving priority, wherein the registered driving path image is based upon the historical driving paths; and a graphic projection system displaying the registered driving path image upon the head-up display.
