Claim Text:
1. A method for monitoring operation of a vehicle comprising: setting a gravitational force (g-force) threshold for operation of the vehicle; measuring a g-force onboard the vehicle; visually conveying to an operator of the vehicle that operation of the vehicle has resulted in the measured g-force exceeding the g-force threshold; visually conveying the measured g-force with a graphical display controlled by a controller, the graphical display including a g-force directional indicator movable relative to a base portion surrounded by a proximal end, a distal end, a left side, and a right side; and positioning the g-force directional indicator at a first position relative to the base portion when the measured g-force is equal to or below the g-force threshold, and positioning the g-force directional indicator at a second position relative to the base portion when the measured g-force is greater than the g-force threshold, the second position is further from the base portion than the first position.
