CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A DIRECTION AND DISTANCE DISPLAY

Embodiments relate to a control device (1) for a direction and distance display (64) on a display surface (3). The control device (1) comprises an input device (4). This is designed to receive an input signal (25) with information regarding a distance and a direction to a target (30, 23, 33, 72). Furthermore, the control device has a controller (6). This is designed to generate a display signal (27) that causes a representation of an arc section (20) covering an angular range (19) on the display surface (3). In this case, a size of the angular range (10) corresponds to the information about the distance and a position of a central axis (21) of the angular range (19) corresponds to the information about the direction of the target (30, 23, 33, 72).
