1. A method for generating a graphical display of operational data of a mining machine, the method comprising:

  • receiving or accessing terrain information for multiple geographical locations;

    receiving or accessing operational data of the mining machine associated with one or more geographical locations of the terrain information and on a travel path of the mining machine over time, wherein the operational data is based on the response of the mining machine to terrain variations at the respective geographical locations; and

    generating a display, the display comprising;

    a terrain image based on the terrain information for the multiple geographical locations; and

    a graphical trail representing previous geographical locations of the mining machine on the terrain image based on the operational data associated with the one or more geographical locations, wherein the appearance of the graphical trail is variable along the graphical trail and based on variations in the operational data and the appearance of the graphical trail at a first point on the graphical trail representing a first previous geographical location of the mining machine is different to the appearance of the graphical trail at a second point on the graphical trail representing a second previous geographical location of the mining machine to indicate a difference between the operational data based on the response of the mining machine to terrain variations at the first geographical location and the operational data based on the response of the mining machine to terrain variations at the second geographical location.
