1. A method for operating a touch screen display for a cartographic device in an aircraft, said method comprising:
- sensing a touch on an edge of a plurality of edges of the touch screen display of the cartographic device, the cartographic device operable to display a map;
causing a plurality of toolbars to be displayed, each toolbar displayed along an entire respective edge of the plurality of edges of the touch screen display in response to the sensed touch, wherein each toolbar enables numerical scaling of at least one respective parameter associated with the map between a minimum numerical scale value and a maximum numerical scale value;
sensing a finger movement along a touched toolbar on the touch screen display;
displaying the minimum numerical scale value, the maximum numerical scale value, and a current numerical scale value within the touched toolbar;
changing a configuration of the displayed map based on the sensed finger movement; and
removing the plurality of displayed toolbars when the touch is no longer sensed.

Abstract
A method for operating a touch screen display for a cartographic device is described. The method includes sensing a touch on the touch screen display of the cartographic device, the cartographic device operable to display a map, causing at least one toolbar to be displayed at an edge of the touch screen display in response to the sensed touch, sensing a finger movement along one of the displayed toolbars on the touch screen display, and changing a configuration of the displayed map based on the sensed finger movement.

12. An aircraft navigation system comprising:
-
a processing device; a memory communicatively coupled to said processing device, said memory comprising cartographic data; a display communicatively coupled to said processing device; and a touch screen interface associated with said display and communicatively coupled to said processing device, said touch screen interface operable to sense a touch on an edge of a plurality of edges of said touch screen interface and communicate that a touch has occurred to said processing device, said processing device operable to cause a plurality of toolbars to be displayed, each toolbar displayed along an entire respective edge of the plurality of edges of said display in response to the touch, wherein each toolbar enables numerical scaling of at least one respective parameter associated with the map between a minimum numerical scale value and a maximum numerical scale value, said touch screen interface operable to sense a finger movement along a touched toolbar and communicate the finger movement to said processing device, said processing device operable to display the minimum numerical scale value, the maximum numerical scale value, and a current numerical scale value based on the sensed finger movement within the touched toolbar, said processing device operable to change a configuration of a displayed map on said display based on the sensed finger movement, said processing device operable to remove the plurality of displayed toolbars when the touch is no longer sensed. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23)

22. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:
-
receive signals indicating a touch has been sensed on an edge of a plurality of edges of a touch screen display displaying a cartographic map in an aircraft; cause a plurality of toolbars to be displayed, each toolbar displayed along an entire edge of the plurality of edges of the touch screen display in response to the received signals, wherein each toolbar enables numerical scaling of at least one parameter associated with the map between a minimum numerical scale value and a maximum numerical scale value; receive signals indicating a finger movement has been sensed along a touched toolbar; display the minimum numerical scale value, the maximum numerical scale value, and a current numerical scale value based on the sensed finger movement within the touched toolbar; cause a configuration of the displayed map to be changed based on the sensed finger movement; and remove the plurality of displayed toolbars when a signal is received indicating that the touch is no longer sensed.
