Navigation device and method
First Claim
1. A navigation device comprising:
- a processor configured to generate a navigation map of a local environment;
a display controllable by said processor and configured to display said navigation map, said displaying comprising displaying a view of said navigation map having corresponding bounds; and
an indicator generation module for generating an indicator for one or more marked locations outside of said displayed navigation map, the marked locations outside of said displayed navigation map being locations outside of said bounds of said view of said navigation map,said processor being responsive to said indicator generation module to control said display to display said generated indicators on said navigation map; and
said processor also being responsive to changes in direction by the navigation device, wherein upon a change in direction by the navigation device, said processor changes a position of said generated indicators displayed on said navigation map.

Abstract
This invention relates to a navigation device (200) comprising: a processor (210) that is configured to generate a navigation map of a local environment (497); and a display (240) controllable by said processor (200) to display said navigation map and any markers (489) that relate to marked locations within said local environment (497); characterized in that the navigation device (200) further comprises: an indicator generation module (490) for generating an indicator (491) for each of any marked locations outside of said local environment, said processor (210) being responsive to said indicator generation module (490) to control said display (240) to display any generated indicators (491) in said navigation map (497).
A method of generating a navigation map and a computer program are also disclosed.

17. A method of displaying a navigation map on a display of a navigation device, the method comprising:
-
generating, by at least one processor, a navigation map of a local environment; displaying, by the at least one processor, said navigation map on the display, said displaying comprising displaying a view of said navigation map having corresponding bounds; and generating, by the at least one processor, an indicator for one or more marked locations outside of said displayed navigation map, the locations outside of said displayed navigation map being locations outside of said bounds of said view of said navigation map, display, by the at least one processor, said generated indicators on said navigation map on said display; and responsive to a change in a direction by the navigation device, by the at least one processor, changing a position of said general indicators displayed on said navigation map. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer software stored thereon, said computer software comprising one or more software modules operable, when executed in an execution environment, to cause a processor to:
-
generate a navigation map of a local environment; display said navigation map on a display, said displaying comprising displaying a view of said navigation map having corresponding bounds; and generate an indicator for one or more marked locations outside of said displayed navigation map, the locations outside of said displayed navigation map being locations outside of said bounds of said view of said navigation map, display said generated indicators on said navigation map on said display; and responsive to changes in a direction of travel, change a position of said generated indicators displayed on said navigation map. - View Dependent Claims (20)
