A method for displaying search area coverage is provided. A searched area (414) is recorded by a moving entity (202, 302), the search area (420) having a width defined by the position of the search entity (202, 302) as it progresses through a search area (420). The search area (420) and the searched area (414) are then displayed on a display (116), thereby illustrating the search area remaining to be searched. Optionally, the width of the searched area (414) may be adjusted in accordance the altitude, speed, or visibility of the search entity (202, 302), and a pattern may be suggested for the search entity (202, 302) to ensure coverage of the search area (420). |
