Abstract: The different advantageous embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a display of magnified information. A selection is received of an area of a chart on a display device to form a selected area through a user input device. Coordinates are identified for the selected area. A category assigned to the selected area is identified using the coordinates identified. Related areas of the chart are identified using the category identified. The selected area and the related areas are compiled to form display information and the display information is displayed on the display device having a selected size.

Abstract: The different advantageous embodiments provide a method, computer program product, and apparatus for presenting a position of a vehicle on a chart. In one advantageous embodiment, a method for presenting a vehicle on a chart is presented. A current position of the vehicle is identified. The method then determines whether the current position of the vehicle is on a path between two points in a plurality of points. A first indicator at a first location on the chart indicating a position of the vehicle on the path relative to the two points is presented responsive to a determination that the current position is on the path. A second indicator on a second location on the chart is presented responsive to an absence of a determination that the current position is on the path, wherein the second indicator points to a closest point in the plurality of points.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for identifying changes on navigation procedure charts. A processing system is coupled with a user interface and a display device for access and display of old and new navigation procedure charts from different revision cycles. A computer software-based differences engine of the processing system obtains an old navigation procedure chart from an old chart storage memory and a new navigation procedure chart from a new chart storage memory. The differences engine determines changes in information from the old navigation procedure chart to the new navigation procedure chart. The navigation procedure charts may, for example, be aeronautical charts. The changes in information are visually identified such that the user can easily determine the changes that have been made from an old chart to a corresponding new chart.
