1. A method for providing pictorial information relevant to a geographical location, the method comprising: determining via a processing unit global positioning satellite coordinates of a geographic location of navigation route point of a route computed for a traveler; searching via the processing unit a pictorial image database for images having an embedded tag associated with the determined global positioning satellite coordinates, wherein searching the database comprises comparing the determined geographic global positioning satellite coordinates to global positioning satellite coordinate tags embedded in he image files; in response to the searching, retrieving an image from the database having an embedded tag correlated to the determined global positioning satellite coordinates and visually depicting a physical appearance of the location in a horizontal perspective and at a view angle correlated with an expected view of the traveler from the computed route and taken at a similar time of day as a current time of day; selecting via the processing unit a scale of field-of-view of the image in response to an anticipation speed of the traveler on the computed route; and presenting via the processing unit the image at the selected scale of field-of-view to a user in association with the geographical location navigation route point.
