1. A method of adjusting a level of map detail for contentdisplayed on a personal navigation device, the method comprising:
- displaying a map of a current location of the personal navigation device on a display of the personal navigation device;
calculating a current speed of the personal navigation device;
adjusting a level of map detail according to the current speed of the personal navigation device to create an updated map, wherein adjusting the level of map detail comprises;
comparing the current speed of the personal navigation device to one or more threshold levels;
selecting the level of map detail according to the comparison result, wherein the level of map detail is shown in a full three-dimensional view when the current speed of the personal navigation device is less than a first threshold value, and the level of map detail is shown in a two-dimensional view when the current speed of the personal navigation device is greater than a second threshold value and less than a third threshold value; and
creating the updated map according to the selected level of map detail; and
displaying the updated map on the display of the personal navigation device.

8. A personal navigation device for adjusting a level of map detail for content displayed on a personal navigation device, the personal navigation device comprising:
-
a display for displaying a map of a current location of the personal navigation device; a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver for receiving the current location of the personal navigation device; a memory for storing map data; a processor for calculating a current speed of the personal navigation device, adjusting a level of map detail according to the current speed of the personal navigation device to create an updated map, and controlling the display to display the updated map; and a lookup table storing one or more speed thresholds and their corresponding levels of map detail, wherein the processor compares the current speed of the personal navigation device to one or more threshold levels, selects the level of map detail according to the comparison result, and creates the updated map according to the selected level of map detail, wherein the level of map detail is shown in a full three-dimensional view when the current speed of the personal navigation device is less than a first threshold value, and the level of map detail is shown in a two-dimensional view when the current speed of the personal navigation device is greater than a second threshold value and less than a third threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
