A vehicle-use display apparatus wherein operation time required therefor can be shortened and driver distraction can be prevented. A tier (an upper-level layer, a middle-level layer, or a lower-level layer, for example) is selected on the vehicle-use display apparatus by contact made to a contact part. Further, by making a gesture in which contact with the contact part is kept while moving the contact position, it is possible to shift through a plurality of menu options included in the selected tier and make a tentative selection. Then, when the passenger has stopped contacting the contact part, selection of the menu option that was tentatively selected at that time is finalized and an onboard device function or process corresponding to the finalized selected menu option is executed.
