Abstract
A method and an apparatus facilitate the orientation of a user in a virtual environment. This involves a user initiating a change between two views of the virtual environment. A first view provides a detailed representation of a destination and a second view is scaled such that both the destination and a reference point, such as a current position, are presented together.
