  • Publication number: 20250137801
    Abstract: To ensure stable vision and reduce discomfort caused by the disappearance of an own vehicle mark when approaching an intersection, display control switches from a wide-area to a narrow-area map display. When the vehicle's distance to an intersection exceeds a first threshold, a control unit shows a first map at a wide scale, displaying the vehicle's position in a bird's-eye view of the surrounding area. As the vehicle approaches the intersection and the distance falls below the threshold, the control erases the vehicle mark and switches to a second map with a larger scale, focusing on the intersection vicinity. A guide mark then indicates the vehicle's traveling direction by adjusting the map's scale.
