Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for manipulating a map in a navigation system are described. A navigation system includes a first control having a first function that orients a panning axis relative to a display in the navigation system. A second control includes a first function that moves the map along the panning axis. The second control is capable of moving the map in two directions along the panning axis.

Abstract:
A method for graphically representing content of a database in an automobile entertainment system. The method includes presenting a first display element on a display, wherein the first display element represents a first node in a first hierarchical level of the data base; and presenting a second display element on the display, wherein the second display element includes a graphical indicator that varies in size according to the number of nodes in a second hierarchical level below the first hierarchical level of the database.
Abstract:
A user interface for an audio/visual device incorporates one or both of a touch sensor having a touch surface on which is defined a racetrack surface having a ring shape and a display element on which is displayed a racetrack menu also having a ring shape, and where perhaps the user interface incorporates both, the ring shapes of the racetrack surface and the racetrack menu are structured to generally correspond such that the position of a marker on the racetrack menu is caused to correspond to the position at which a digit of a user's hand touches the racetrack surface.

Abstract:
A geographical field is displayed including indicia, representing respective items stored in a navigation system, that are displayed in positions that correspond to geographic relationships of the items on the geographic field. In response to a user manipulating a user interface control device, a visible feature of the geographic field is altered to indicate browsing with respect to a predetermined succession of the stored items.
Abstract:
An audio/video switchbox includes a housing and one or more jacks on the housing. Each jack is configured to be connected to an end of a signal cable. A logic and control controls operation of the switchbox. The switchbox is connectable to a video display so that video images from the switchbox can be presented on the display. The switchbox is able to present an image on the display requesting that a person indicate which type of signal cable will be used to connect an audio/video device to the switchbox. The switchbox is able to automatically detect when an end of a signal cable selected by the person has been connected to one of the jacks.
