    摘要: In an information terminal device, a processor receives route information on a route from a start point to a destination and guidance information required for route guidance, in accordance with a standard communications protocol. The processor guides the route from the start point to the destination through an information presentation part by using first cartographic data having a basis on the received route information and the guidance information. The processor requests, as required, a specific information service center for point information in a tag format showing details of each important point (POI) on the route through an information request part. As a result, the processor receives the point information on the important point from the information service center in accordance with the standard communications protocol. The processor presents the received point information on the important point simultaneously with a map based on the first cartographic data to clearly indicate each of the important points on the route. With the aid of the tag format, the information terminal device is capable of receiving, using the standard communications protocol, various information in the suitable format for the route guidance.

    摘要: An object is to realize a server/client-type map information providing system capable of providing detailed, wide-ranging map related information through telecommunications at low costs, and a server side is provided with databases (9 to 12) storing the map related information. When notified of position information from a mobile terminal side, a processing portion 15 performs a route search referring to map data in the map database 9 based on the position information. The processing portion 15 then extracts Information related to the obtained route (route related information) from the databases (9 to 12) to transmit the information with the route to the mobile terminal side. In this way, since the mobile terminal side needs only the information that is closely related to the route in the map related information, only the route related information is transmitted, thereby reducing the amount of information to be transmitted compared to that when the map related information is downloaded as it is, and as a result it is possible to provide detailed, wide-ranging map related information through telecommunications at low costs.

    摘要: A terminal device for reading a cartographic file in which updating one cartographic file does not require updating cartographic files in the neighboring units. For this purpose, cartographic files which represent respective units extracted by dividing a map into a plurality of areas each comprise node records generated for respective nodes and link records generated for respective links. Given node records contain coordinate information about neighboring nodes which define connections of roads between its unit and a neighboring unit. The cartographic files are stored in a first storage device. The data processing portion executes a process of searching for a route by using the cartographic files. During the route search, the data processing portion traces the connection from a road in one unit to a road in another, neighboring, unit on the basis of the coordinate information about the neighboring nodes of said one unit and said neighboring another unit.

    摘要: A base station transmits map information in which a predetermined area is divided in rectangular areas and represented on several steps of scales by using a broadcast channel. The user of a terminal device enters scale and area of map information currently required. The terminal device stores only the map information of the area and scale that the user requires among a plurality of pieces of map information transmitted on the broadcast channel in an internal map storage portion. Thus a map information providing method and a terminal device used in the method are provided, wherein the terminal device can select required information from among the map information transmitted from the base station.
