A navigation interface display system generates a navigation map that organizes a plurality of information sources in an easy-to-use manner. In practical embodiments, the information sources are online music, video, or other streaming media content providers. The navigation map employs a hierarchical display protocol for a plurality of map items that serve as links to the various content sources. In addition, the map items are displayed on distinctive areas or features of the map, where such features represent different programming/content genres, categories, subgenres, or subcategories. The navigation interface display system is deployed in a layered architecture with centralized servers, centralized databases related to the map data and the content data, and different presentation layer interfaces associated with different presentation or display devices. The layered architecture allows a single deployment of the display system to service multiple users, where each user can utilize any number of different presentation devices.
