Method and system for displaying multiple routing diagrams

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable memory configured to store executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform functions comprising:
• receiving, at the one or more processors, a first routing diagram file and a second routing diagram file, wherein:
• the first routing diagram file includes a first routing diagram and first metadata internal to the first routing diagram file,
• the first routing diagram is a member of a first set of routing diagrams that includes multiple different routing diagrams,
• the first routing diagram includes a first user-selectable control, a first portion of a particular circuit or line, and a first textual destination diagram identifier,
• the first textual destination diagram identifier indicates the particular circuit or line continues on a second routing diagram,
• the first user-selectable control and the first textual destination diagram identifier are distinct from the particular circuit or line on the first routing diagram,
• the first metadata includes an identifier of the first user-selectable control and a destination identifier of the second routing diagram,
• the first user-selectable control contacts the particular circuit or line on the first routing diagram,
• the second routing diagram file includes the second routing diagram,
• the second routing diagram includes a second user-selectable control, a second portion of the particular circuit or line, and a second destination diagram identifier,
• the second destination diagram identifier indicates the particular circuit or line continues on the first routing diagram,
• the second user-selectable control and the second destination diagram identifier are distinct from the particular circuit or line on the second routing diagram, and
• the second user-selectable control contacts the particular circuit or line on the second routing diagram;
• displaying, on a display, the first routing diagram, wherein displaying the first routing diagram includes displaying, within the first routing diagram, the first user-selectable control, the first portion of the particular circuit or line, and the first textual destination diagram identifier;
• determining, by one or more processors, a selection of the first user-selectable control occurs while the first routing diagram is displayed on the display;
• and
• determining, by the one or more processors in response to the selection of the first user-selectable control while the first routing diagram is displayed on the display, the destination identifier of the second routing diagram by referring to the first metadata of the first routing diagram;
• displaying, on the display in response to determining the destination identifier of the second routing diagram by referring to the first metadata of the first routing diagram, the second routing diagram instead of the first routing diagram, wherein displaying the second routing diagram includes displaying, within the second routing diagram, the second user-selectable control, the second portion of the particular circuit or line, and the second destination diagram identifier, wherein:
• the second user-selectable control is selectable to cause the first routing diagram to be displayed on the display again, and
• the particular circuit or line represents a circuit or line within a vehicle.
