A method for displaying a starting point and several destination locations on a screen connected to a data processing device which is connected to an input unit, comprising the following steps: - selecting the starting point on a location-based representation, which is a section from a topographical map, and representing the starting point in a marked manner as a starting symbol in the location-based representation on the screen, - selecting several destination locations and representing the individual destination locations in a marked manner as destination symbols in the location-based representation on the screen, - setting an expenditure criterion for reaching the destination locations starting from the starting point , in particular the travel time, travel costs, characterized by - selecting a second representation which is different to the location-based representation and fits the expenditure criterion , in particular a time-based representation, - calculating the position of the destination locations in the second representation in accordance with the distance from the starting point and taking into account the expenditure criterion , - displaying the destination locations on the screen as destination symbols in the second representation, wherein the location-based representation still remains visible on the screen, the second representation is centered around the starting symbol, and the distance of the destination symbols in the second representation from the starting symbol is a function of the expenditure criterion , and - displaying a relationship between the position of several of the individual destination symbols in the location-based representation and the associated destination symbol in the second representation, wherein the position of each of the individual destination symbols in the location-based representation, the position of the associated destination symbol in the second representation, and the position of the starting point are respectively aligned on one common line. - selecting the starting point on a location-based representation, which is a section from a topographical map, and representing the starting point in a marked manner as a starting symbol in the location-based representation on the screen, - selecting several destination locations and representing the individual destination locations in a marked manner as destination symbols in the location-based representation on the screen, - setting an expenditure criterion for reaching the destination locations starting from the starting point , in particular the travel time, travel costs, characterized by - selecting a second representation which is different to the location-based representation and fits the expenditure criterion , in particular a time-based representation, - calculating the position of the destination locations in the second representation in accordance with the distance from the starting point and taking into account the expenditure criterion , - displaying the destination locations on the screen as destination symbols in the second representation, wherein the location-based representation still remains visible on the screen, the second representation is centered around the starting symbol, and the distance of the destination symbols in the second representation from the starting symbol is a function of the expenditure criterion , and - displaying a relationship between the position of several of the individual destination symbols in the location-based representation and the associated destination symbol in the second representation, wherein the position of each of the individual destination symbols in the location-based representation, the position of the associated destination symbol in the second representation, and the position of the starting point are respectively aligned on one common line. <EOS>
