Abstract:
An off-screen point of interest, that has a corresponding off-screen display attribute, is identified. A distance of the identified off-screen point of interest is compared to a distance threshold. A display element, corresponding to the off-screen points of interest, is displayed on a border of a map display, based upon the comparison, and based upon a direction in which the off-screen point of interest is located, relative to a reference point on the map display.
