Abstract: Route information for at least a first route and a second route is displayed using display indicators assigned to each route. The routes may be decomposed into discrete segments, some of which may be shared among the routes. Upon determining which segments are shared by routes, the shared segments may be displayed using an interleaved pattern of the display indicators associated with the routes. The interleaved pattern may comprise an alternating pattern of the display indicators associated with the routes. Shared segments may also be displayed in a cycling pattern that includes the respective display indicators of the shared routes. Non-shared segments may be displayed with the respective display indicators for the routes that use that segment. The width of the patterns along the shared segments may be substantially the same as the width of the non-shared segments. In one embodiment, the routes may be fixed. Targets associated with each route may be displayed on the routes.

Abstract: Systems and methods of displaying route information on an electronic display. The information includes a number of routes that extend within the displayed area. A large amount of information about the routes is stored in or accessible by the system. Therefore, the systems and methods are configured to initially display a map with much of the information being withheld. This initial map is clean and the displayed information is relevant to the user. The system is then configured to receive input requesting that the system display more specific information about the relevant routes of interest to the user.
