Method and system for displaying navigation information and mapping content on an electronic map

An apparatus, comprising:

• a display device configured to display a first portion of an electronic map and an object vector indicator (OVI), wherein the OVI provides reference information for a map object (MO) which is not visible on the first portion of the electronic map;
• and
• a processing device, configured to:
• receive a user input indicating selection of the OVI;
• and
• in response to receiving the user input, cause the display device to display media content associated with the MO.

• and
• a processing device, configured to:
• identify a user selection of the OVI;
• and
• in response to identifying the user selection, cause the display device to display a second portion of the electronic map.

• and
• a processing device, configured to:
• monitor a change in position of the apparatus;
• and
• in response to identifying the change in position, cause the display device to alter a visual characteristic of the OVI to represent a change in spatial relationship between the apparatus and the MO.
