A method for providing guidance for the alignment of a moveable first coupling 28 of a vehicle 10 and a second coupling 14 of a body 12, preferably for alignment of a hook of a hook loader coupling to a bar provided on a container. The method comprises capturing an image which includes the second coupling 14 using an camera 40 fixed with respect to the vehicle and laterally offset with respect to the first coupling 28; and displaying the image together with a coupling alignment guide 72 which is aligned with a first point 42 which is at a predefined position with respect to the image. Preferably the first point 42 is the motion perspective vanishing point, being the point towards which all motion perspective lines converge. There is also disclosed an associated guidance system.
