1. A method for accessing information on an electronic version of a navigation information display said method comprising:
- displaying navigation information in a first portion of a display of a device, the device incorporating a touch screen;
sensing a user touch on the touch screen;
determining, by the device, a location on the touch screen where the user touch has occurred;
correlating the location on the touch screen where the user touch has occurred with a selected location in the navigation information;
displaying a magnified area of a portion of the navigation information corresponding to the selected location, wherein the magnified area is displayed at a position proximate to and above the location on the touch screen where the user touch occurred, and wherein a displayed size of the magnified area is based on at least one user preference; and
displaying textual information related to the magnified area in a second portion of the display device, wherein the textual information includes a latitude and longitude corresponding to the selected location in the navigation information, and wherein the second portion does not overlap the first portion of the display device.

11. 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:
-
display navigation information in a first portion of a touch screen display of a device associated with the at least one processor; sense a first user touch on the touch screen; determine, by the device, a location on the touch screen where the first user touch has occurred; correlate the location on the touch screen where the first user touch has occurred with a selected location in the navigation information; display a magnified area of a portion of the navigation information corresponding to the selected location, wherein the magnified area is displayed at a position proximate to and above the location on the touch screen where the user touch occurred, and wherein a displayed size of the magnified area is based on at least one user preference, and wherein the magnified area overlaid over the navigation information; and display textual information related to the magnified area in a second portion of the touch screen display, wherein the textual information includes a latitude and longitude corresponding to the selected location in the navigation information, wherein the second portion does not overlap the first portion of the touch screen display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A system for displaying electronic navigation charts, said system comprising:
-
a processing device; a memory coupled to said processing device, said memory for storing data defining the electronic navigation charts; and a display comprising a touch screen, said display and said touch screen communicatively coupled to said processing device, said processing device configured to; cause the electronic navigation charts to be displayed in a first portion of said display; receive data from said touch screen indicating one or more user touches on said touch screen; determine, based on the data received from said touch screen, a location on said touch screen where the one or more user touches have occurred; correlate the location on said touch screen where the one or more user touches have occurred with the data defining the electronic navigation charts; display a magnified area of a portion of the navigation information corresponding to the selected location, wherein the magnified area is displayed at a position proximate to and above the location on the touch screen where the user touch occurred, wherein a displayed size of the magnified area is based on at least one user preference, and wherein the magnified area overlaid over the electronic navigation charts; and cause textual information related to the magnified area to be displayed in a second portion of said display, the textual information including a latitude and longitude corresponding to the location where the one or more user touches have occurred in the electronic navigation charts, and wherein the second portion does not overlap the first portion of said display. - View Dependent Claims (16)
