摘要： An actual running distance ab from a starting position to a present position of a vehicle is calculated based on input starting position data and positions continuously detected using a GPS device etc. An estimated running distance bc from the present position to a destination is calculated based on a detected present position and input destination data. A degree of attainment T representing a degree of approach to the destination is calculated according to an equation of: T=ab/(ab+bc), and is indicated on a display to announce it to a driver.

摘要： An on-board navigation apparatus constantly displays characters of name data associated with geographical data in legible order and direction whenever the display direction is changed to one of the north, south, east, and west directions. In operation, after the geographical data and associated name data in a desired region are read, name reference point and name area of the read name data is retrieved, and display direction of map orientation is retrieved. Coordinates of a drawing start point are then calculated on the basis of absolute coordinate of name reference point in accordance with the display direction. Correspondence between absolute coordinates of the geographical data and the coordinates of the drawing start point of the name data is established, and the name data is written into the name area so that the geographical data and the name data are stored while being superimposed with each other, thereby forming map data. The display is performed on the basis of the map data produced by the superimposition.

摘要： An on-board navigation apparatus is designed to shorten the time for a display operation at the time of displaying a map and scrolling a screen while employing a buffer memory with a smaller memory capacity. The apparatus reads only block data of a block containing a display center point and block data of blocks adjoining thereto and stores the data into a buffer memory, and acquires display data forming a display screen with the display center point as a reference point from the buffer memory and performs a display operation. The reading/storing operation includes an operation of storing the block containing the display center point and blocks adjoining thereto separately into the buffer memory. The display control operation includes an operation of temporarily storing the display data into a display buffer memory before displaying it.

摘要： An on-vehicle navigation apparatus in which destination coordinate data stored in a memory is erased when the distance from the present location to a destination is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value at the time the engine of a vehicle is started. The destination coordinate data will not therefore be erased while the vehicle is actually running toward the destination. The arrangement prevents display of navigation information such as the direction and distance from being stopped before the vehicle arrives at the destination.

摘要： While a certain information-recorded medium is reproduced by a reproduction processing means of a reproduction apparatus, when the information-recorded medium is designated again within a prescribed time by a user through an operating means, the control means controls the reproduction processing means so that the pertinent information-recorded medium can be reproduced on the basis of the reproduction information stored in a storage means. In addition, when the pertinent information-recorded medium is designated again, the control means makes control of externally indicating whether or not the pertinent information-recorded medium should be reproduced on the basis of the reproduction information stored in the storage means. In this configuration, even when a user stops the reproduction processing by his erroneous operation while a certain information-recorded medium of a plurality of information-recorded media is reproduced he can return the reproduction apparatus to the processing of reproducing the pertinent information-recorded medium easily within a short time.
