It can't do that if it's not to scale! And who knows where the errors are? Neptune's orbit is way too big compared to Alpha Centauri. Are other stars also way too close compared to that? I can't stand these intentionally misleading education images of stuff. You have to work at undoing the artistic license of the author before it's useful.

We seem to be conflating the actual navigation computer with a display to show the humans information. If it were to scale, it would effectively be useless to the human as the scale of space is just too damn big to fit in some sort of navigation display. However, the actual navigation computer can be as accurate as necessary to not become Lost in Space. That's an entirely different franchise
