Electronics apparatus, method for displaying map, and computer program

A method for displaying a map, comprising the steps of:

• detecting a touched position on a displayed image in a display unit that displays an image with the use of a touched position detecting unit;
• setting a target position in accordance with the position detected by the touched position detecting unit with the use of a control unit;
• displaying a map so that the target position is matched with a predefined position by scrolling the map if the target position is located on the map displayed by the display unit with the use of the control unit;
• and
• creating another map in which the target position is matched with the predefined position using stored map data if the target position is not located on the displayed map, and replacing the map displayed by the display unit with the created map with the use of the control unit.

A computer program that makes a computer function as:

• functional means that, when a touched position on a displayed image in the display unit that displays an image is detected by a touched position detecting unit, sets a target position in accordance with the detected position;
• functional means that, if the target position is located on the map displayed by the display unit, displays the map so that the target position is matched with a predefined position by scrolling the map;
• and
• functional means that, if the target position is not located on the displayed map, creates another map in which the target position is matched with the predefined position using the stored map data, and replaces the currently displayed map with the created map.
