Abstract:
A display interfacing system and an automated graphics system enable presentation of a second picture within a first picture of an avionics display. The first picture provides broad information pertaining to navigating an aircraft vehicle within a specified region. The broad information may include a flight plan map, and the specified region may be navigated using a VOR radial displayed on the flight plan map. The second picture provides clarifying information about an aspect of the first picture. Interaction with the second picture may also provide clarifying information about an aspect of the second picture.
