Abstract: A method for displaying a travel route on a display screen in a vehicle includes plotting location names in a linear manner horizontally across the display screen. A travel route is displayed by plotting items of travel route information in a linear manner horizontally across the display screen, wherein the travel route information is a time information or a distance information. Each location name and a respective one of the items of travel route information are aligned in a vertical direction. A graphical symbol for the vehicle is displayed on the display screen such that a position of the graphical symbol for the vehicle indicates a current position of the vehicle along the travel route. The location names and the travel route information are updated as the vehicle travels along the travel route.
