Method, non-transitory computer readable storage medium, device and system that categorizes map information as static map information and dynamic map information and updates static map information differently from dynamic map information

A server connected to a wireless network, comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• store map information divided into a plurality of defined geographical areas that includes a first geographical area and a second geographical area, the second geographical area including an item of information;
• categorize the item of information as dynamic map information that is updated periodically or as static map information that is updated periodically at a lower frequency than the dynamic map information;
• receive map information to be transmitted to a wireless communication apparatus that includes the item of information categorized as dynamic map information and, based on a speed of the wireless communication apparatus being smaller than a threshold, change the category type of the received map information to static map information;
• when a current position of the wireless communication apparatus is within the first geographical area and within a predetermined range of the second defined geographical area, and when the wireless communication apparatus is approaching the second defined geographical area, request and receive the static map information about the second geographical area prior to the update period;
• and
• transmit the static map information to the wireless communication apparatus.
