Navigation device

Abstract

When setting a spot by designating a desired position on a map displayed on a display unit, a spot setting menu picture is displayed in the vicinity of the designated position, thereby improving the visibility of a positional relation to improve operability. A navigation device (1) is provided with an input unit (13) which designates a spot on the displayed map, a spot position detection unit (16) which identifies the spot designated by the input unit (13), a menu display position determination unit (17) which determines the display position of the menu picture (38) for selecting an item for setting the spot identified by the spot position detection unit (16), and a mark display unit (18) which displays a spot setting mark (36) which indicates a touch-operated position on a display screen. The menu display position determination unit (17) detects the display position of the spot setting mark (36) and determines the display position of the menu picture (38) in accordance with the display position of the spot setting mark (36).
