ABSTRACT:
A display system for a vehicle includes a navigation database storing navigation data; a terrain sensor configured to gather terrain data; a processor adapted to receive the navigation data and the terrain data and operable to supply one or more image rendering display commands based upon the navigation data and the terrain data; and a display device. The display device is coupled to receive the image rendering display commands and operable, in response thereto, to render (i) a perspective view image representative of the terrain data and the navigation data and including terrain and (ii) at least one line on the perspective view image that extends at least partially across the terrain and represents at least one of a ground-referenced range to a fixed location on the terrain and a vehicle-referenced range from the vehicle to a fixed range away from the vehicle.
