1. A method for identifying a path of a vehicle through a selected area comprising:

  • A) providing a computer system receiving data from at least one of a database and an object detection system describing a position of the vehicle relative to the selected area;

    B) modeling as a color-coded heat map, within a memory of the computer system, the selected area as a plurality of sub-areas, selected of the sub-areas having a flight object associated therewith;

    C) associating with each of the plurality of sub-areas one or more parameters, at least one of the parameters representing a summation value;

    D) modifying the summation value associated with selected of the plurality of sub-areas in relation to a proximity of a sub-area another of the plurality of sub-areas having a flight object associated therewith;

    E) determining one or more sub-areas having a summation value satisfying a predetermined rule; and

    F) identifying adjacent of the sub-areas satisfying the predetermined rule as representing the path of the vehicle through the areawherein each of the sub-areas has associated therewith a color indicating if the summation value associated with the sub-area satisfies the predetermined rule and, displaying on a navigation display, the identified path of the vehicle.
