System and method for printing image and name of imaged landmark

Abstract

In a printing system, a ROM stores map data that includes place data indicating names and locations of a variety of landmarks. Image data of each image includes position data indicating a camera location, at which the image is captured. When an image is chosen from thumbnail images on a display screen, a CPU searches the map data based on the position data of the chosen image. When a plural number of landmarks are retrieved for the chosen image, the CPU checks their relation of inclusion, and displays the names of the retrieved landmarks in such a sequence that one including a greater number of landmarks comes before. A printer section prints the chosen image and the names of the retrieved landmarks on a printing sheet, wherein the landmark names are printed in the displayed sequence at a designated position on a designated side of the printing sheet.
