Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for displaying map information on a computing device. Data are stored for rendering a simulation of travel along one or more road segments prior to embarking on travel along the road segments. The simulation is comprised of a sequence of views of the road network along each road segment from vantage points above or along the road network. Each road segment may be part of a calculated route and the simulation may include views for all the road segments contained in the calculated route. While the computing device is being conveyed along each road segment, the data stored for the simulation is used to show a view of the road network that includes the current position of the computing device on a display of the computing device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of displaying traffic conditions on a road system includes creating a 3D graphical map of the road system that includes one or more segments. The status of at least one of the segments on the 3D graphical map is determined. The status of the segment corresponds to traffic data associated with that segment. A 3D model of the road system is created by combining the 3D graphical map and the status of that segment.

Abstract: A three-dimensional map is displayed on a screen, and text data with different levels of density are displayed according to distances from a view point of the displayed three-dimensional map to nodes where the text data will be displayed, thereby improving readability of the text data. Further, it is possible to display the text data by locally adjusting the density of the text data on the screen. The three-dimensional map is displayed on the screen of a display panel by converting map data with two-dimensional coordinates into those with three-dimensional coordinates by means of a perspective projection method. Text data to be displayed together with the three-dimensional map are converted into those in a three-dimensional coordinate system with an origin defined by the view point of the three-dimensional map. The converted text data are projected on a two-dimensional plane to be converted into those with screen coordinates. Then, distances from the view point of the displayed three-dimensional map to the nodes where the text data will be displayed are classified. The classified distances are determined for the converted text data with the screen coordinates. Text data of levels corresponding to the determined distances are displayed on the screen of the display panel on which the three-dimensional map is displayed.

Abstract: A map display apparatus includes a map data memory which stores map data necessary for plotting a map of a predetermined region; a map display which reads map data out of the map data memory and plots a bird's-eye view display by projecting the map data read out from the map data memory onto a projection plane which makes a projection angle with a plane of the map data read out from the map data memory, the projection angle being greater than 0null and less than 90null, the bird's-eye view display including identifying marks which identify items in the bird's-eye view display; and an identifying mark overlap preventer which prevents identifying marks from overlapping one another in the bird's-eye view display.
