Abstract: In a method of a display of a navigation interface, a representative model of a vehicle is displaced in an identity display region of the navigation interface. The identity display region indicates a view focus region of a user in the navigation interface of a terminal located inside the vehicle. The representative model is displayed on an electronic map on the navigation interface. A display position of the representative model is adjusted in the identity display region based on a change of a traveling state of the vehicle. A display configuration of the electronic map is updated in the navigation interface based on the adjusted display position of the representative model in the identity display region.
