ABSTRACT:
A method and device are disclosed for navigation. In at least one embodiment, the method includes determining map information for display on an integrated input and display device of a navigation device, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device; determining, prior to display on the integrated input and display device of the navigation device, whether or not the determined map information includes at least one designated pattern; enhancing, upon determining that the determined map information includes at least one designated pattern, the determined at least one designated pattern; and displaying the determined map information, including the enhanced at least one designated pattern, in three dimensions on the integrated input and display device of the navigation device. In at least one embodiment, the navigation device includes a processor to determine map information for subsequent display, based upon a determined route of travel of the navigation device, the processor further being useable to determine, prior to display, whether or not the determined map information includes at least one designated pattern and to enhance, upon determining that the determined map information includes at least one designated pattern, the determined at least one designated pattern; and an integrated input and display device to display the determined map information, including the enhanced at least one designated pattern, in three dimensions.
