摘要： A navigation system 2 includes a map-gain timing judging part 15 to calculate a traveling speed the position of a vehicle detected by a GPS unit 13. A moving distance of the vehicle during the renewal of map is calculated by the traveling speed and a renewal time necessary for gaining the map information from the server 11 of a map information delivery apparatus 1. The system 2 further calculates a traveling direction of the vehicle by the position of the vehicle and also calculates a road distance from the present position of the vehicle to the margin of a map on display. When the road distance agrees with moving distance, it is started to gain a new map information from the server. Thus, when the vehicle reaches the margin of the map on display, the renewal of the map information is completed.

摘要： A CPU of a navigation device includes a clock unit, a continuous driving time measurement unit that measures continuous driving time from a traveling start time, a course stage prediction unit, and a presenting information controller. The course stage prediction unit selects based on the traveling start time, a first transition determination reference time for transition from a “first stage” to a “middle stage” from prepared data of the first transition determination reference time and a second transition determination reference time for transition from the “middle stage” to a “last stage” from prepared data of the second transition determination reference time. The course stage prediction unit then predicts a course stage by comparing the continuous driving time with the selected transition determination reference times. Depending on the predicted course stage, the presenting information controller presents information convenient for a driver in the predicted course stage.

摘要： A map image display device is configured and arranged to improve operability by enabling a map image of a location distant from a currently displayed map image to be appropriately displayed with a simple operation. The map image display device displays names that are subject to a user's input command superimposed on a map image, and, if one of the displayed names is specified, switches the map image to be displayed to a map image in the vicinity of the specified name. At this time, the map image display device selects as the name to be superimposed on the map image at least one distant map name that is not included in the map image to be displayed, and displays that selected distant map name superimposed in the map image peripheral part corresponding to the bearing from the center of the map image to be displayed.
