The device of claim 1, wherein said actuating system comprises at least one first actuating unit that modifies the selected degree of zoom, in both directions, between two limit degrees.3. The device of claim 1, wherein said actuating system comprises at least one second actuating unit that selects directly one of at least three different degrees of zoom, respectively relating to:general navigation proximity navigation; and precision taxiing. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein said actuating system furthermore comprises at least one fifth actuating unit that is operable by an operator to:starting from a first degree of zoom, gain access, by a first actuation of said fifth actuating unit, to a second degree of zoom allowing a presentation of the whole of the airport on said display screen; and starting from this second degree of zoom, return, by a second actuation of said fifth actuating unit, to said first degree of zoom. 5. The device of claim 1, further comprising a displacement unit that displaces a display of the part of the airport that is displayed on the display screen.6. The device of claim 1, wherein said central unit is made such that a variation of zoom between two different degrees of zoom appears continuous to the operator looking at said display screen.7. The device of claim 1, wherein said central unit is made much that a displacement of the display of the part of the airport that is displayed on the display screen appears continuous to the operator looking a said display screen.8. The device of claim 1, wherein said display unit comprises at least two different display modes, and in that said central unit is made such that, during a change of mode from a first mode to a second mode, it successively causes on said display screen at least the disappearance of a mask relating to said first mode, a displacement of a display of an aircraft part that is displayed and the appearance of a mask relating to said second mode.9. The device of claim 1, further comprising a loading unit that loads data in real time into said data base.10. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is integrated in a portable computer.11.
