Abstract: An image information display apparatus is provided, which is inexpensive and is capable of easily performing scrolling of image data from a current position to a destination. The image information display apparatus includes a map data storage unit 1, a display unit 2, an input unit 3, a control unit 4, and a communication satellite 5. The input unit includes a manipulation unit 22 manipulated by an operator, position sensors 25, 26 for detecting a manipulation states of the manipulation unit 22, actuators 23, 24 for supplying a force-feedback to the manipulation unit 22, and destination setting switches 27, 28. The control unit 4 calculates an amount and direction of manipulation of the manipulation unit 22 on the basis of positional signals a, b, and performs scrolling of image data 51 on the basis of the calculated amount and direction of manipulation of the manipulation unit 22 obtained. In addition, the control unit calculates the deviation between the direction of a destination B as seen from a reference point A in the road map data 51 and the direction of manipulation of the manipulation unit 22, and controls drive of the actuator 23, 24 to decrease the force-feedback to be supplied to the manipulation unit 22 with a decrease in the calculated deviation.
