A '''moving map display''' is a computer-generated display that does away with the problems of paper maps having a finite edge. Typically, the user's position is centered on the map, so orientation is very simple. A symbol, representing the user or vehicle, moves horizontally to correspond with the user's position over ground. For short distances, the symbol may move on the map, but always stay in view. For longer movements, the underlying map moves. | A '''moving map display''' is a computer-generated display that does away with the problems of paper maps having a finite edge.

A moving map display is a computer-generated display that does away with the problems of paper maps having a finite edge. Typically, the user's position is centered on the map, so orientation is very simple. A symbol, representing the user or vehicle, moves horizontally to correspond with the user's position over ground. For short distances, the symbol may move on the map, but always stay in view. For longer movements, the underlying map moves.
