• Abstract:
  An increasing number of electronic displays, ranging from small hand-held displays for general aviation to installed displays for air transport, are showing navigation information, such as symbols representing navigational aids. The wide range of display technology and the different functions these displays support makes it difficult to design symbols that are easily recognizable across platforms. The goals of this effort are to identify features of navigation symbology that are problematic when presented on electronic displays and to develop a method to design and evaluate symbology that takes into account the different media (e.g., paper vs. electronic) and platforms on which they will be displayed.
