Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques are described for visualizing a roadway transition along an ascertained route course for a navigation device. In an implementation, the navigation device may include a display and a data processing device to identify a roadway transition from a first road onto a second road along an ascertained route course and present navigation information in a first and second operating mode. The second operating mode may include roadway transition visualization generated by dynamically superpositioning a first visualization layer, which may include road characteristics and location information, and a second visualization layer, which may include the ascertained route course along the identified roadway transition.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A navigation device for visualizing a roadway transition along an ascertained route course, the navigation device comprising: a position determining unit operable to determine a current location of the navigation device; a memory including roadway information including a road network database having geometric properties and elevation data associated with roads, including roadway transitions, and distinct graphic elements associated with the roadway t…
