Method for displaying information in a vehicle, in which - at least one object is displayed by means of a display panel, wherein information is depicted in the object at a first virtual viewing angle, and - a control signal from a control apparatus is taken as a basis for producing graphics data that alter the depiction of the information depicted by the graphical object such that the information is depicted at a second virtual viewing angle, - wherein a touch sensitive surface of the display panel entails a simultaneous touch to different areas being detectable, - the control signal is triggered by an operator control process on the touch sensitive surface in which the display panel is simultaneously touched in at least two areas, and a transition from a depiction at the first virtual viewing angle to a depiction at the second virtual viewing angle entails the graphics data being produced such that the depicted information is shown swivelling to the second virtual viewing angle, wherein - the graphically depicted information relates to a geographical map displayed in the object, characterized in that - the direction of a swivel angle through which the geographical map is swivelled is dependent on the positions of the simultaneous touches to the display panel, wherein the display panel has an upper area defined at an upper edge of the display panel and a lower area defined at a lower edge of the display panel in the operator control process (7, 8), wherein a touch to the touch sensitive surface in the upper area of the at least two areas entails the depiction of the geographical map being tilted to the rear about a horizontal axis situated in a lower edge of the object, and a touch to the touch sensitive surface in the lower area of the at least two areas entails the depiction tilted to the rear being restored, and - the swivel angle is dependent on the duration of the simultaneous touch to different areas of the display panel. - at least one object is displayed by means of a display panel, wherein information is depicted in the object at a first virtual viewing angle, and - a control signal from a control apparatus is taken as a basis for producing graphics data that alter the depiction of the information depicted by the graphical object such that the information is depicted at a second virtual viewing angle, - wherein a touch sensitive surface of the display panel entails a simultaneous touch to different areas being detectable, - the control signal is triggered by an operator control process on the touch sensitive surface in which the display panel is simultaneously touched in at least two areas, and a transition from a depiction at the first virtual viewing angle to a depiction at the second virtual viewing angle entails the graphics data being produced such that the depicted information is shown swivelling to the second virtual viewing angle, - the graphically depicted information relates to a geographical map displayed in the object, characterized in that - the direction of a swivel angle through which the geographical map is swivelled is dependent on the positions of the simultaneous touches to the display panel, wherein the display panel has an upper area defined at an upper edge of the display panel and a lower area defined at a lower edge of the display panel in the operator control process (7, 8), wherein a touch to the touch sensitive surface in the upper area of the at least two areas entails the depiction of the geographical map being tilted to the rear about a horizontal axis situated in a lower edge of the object, and a touch to the touch sensitive surface in the lower area of the at least two areas entails the depiction tilted to the rear being restored, and - the swivel angle is dependent on the duration of the simultaneous touch to different areas of the display panel.
