Abstract:
1. A method of displaying on an electronic display a graphical depiction of route information determined by an electronic route processor, the method comprising: accessing a computer memory and obtaining data defining a first route and a second route; assigning a first display indicator to the first route; assigning a second display indicator to the second route; processing the first and second routes in the electronic route processor and determining discrete route segments that are shared by both the first and second routes; and displaying on the electronic display as the graphical depiction of the route information a repeating pattern of the first and second route indicators along the same discrete shared route segments with the repeating pattern including one or more of the first route indicators followed by one or more of the second route indicators; displaying on the electronic display non-shared segments of the first route with the first display indicator and displaying non-shared segments of the second route with the second display indicator; the repeating pattern displayed along the same discrete shared route segments being visually distinct from each of the first and second display indicators displayed along the non-shared segments to visually differentiate the shared route segments.
