1. A medical device comprising:
an elongate device including a flexible body;
a tracking system disposed along at least a portion of the flexible body;
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the tracking system;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a route to a target location in an anatomy, the route traversing a plurality of tiers of passageways of the anatomy;
determine one or more features of the route based on a first anatomical representation;
generate an elongated, linear reduced anatomical representation based on the one or more features of the route, the elongated, linear reduced anatomical representation including a passageway width for each tier of the plurality of tiers of passageways along the route, wherein the passageway width for each tier is constant along a length of each tier;
receive real-time position information from the tracking system;
associate the real-time position information to the elongated, linear reduced anatomical representation; and
dynamically display the elongated, linear reduced anatomical representation with the associated real-time position information.
