Abstract
A method of overlaying information onto a view for electronic display. A scale of the view is determined. A significance of the overlay information is also determined. A display transparency of the overlay information is selected based on the determined scale and the determined significance. This method makes it possible for a pilot to view weather imagery overlaid on an electronically displayed map without having to switch back and forth between overlay and underlying map to see detail information when zooming in or out of the map.
