One of the most useful tools promised for a future vehicle is the position indicator. When combined with the information content of a map, the task of navigation is greatly simplified. A recent trial in support of future vehicle concepts required the inclusion of an electronic map. The limitations of map systems currently available in terms of cost and flexibility led to the in-house development of an electronic map simulation for use in the field. The limited time and resources for development of the system demanded a resourceful approach. The result was a rugged map system that can be readily evolved towards an increasingly representative tool.
