Display control device

A display control device for displaying on a display of a mobile terminal a map information reproducing a scenery, and displaying on top of said map information a coordinate point corresponding to a current location of said mobile terminal every time the current location of said mobile terminal is obtained from a location detecting device as positioning data, comprising:

• a map information display determination section for displaying said map information on said display in a fixed orientation;
• an angular difference display determination section for displaying on said display an angular difference between an angle of direction in which said mobile terminal is pointed and an angle of direction of said map information displayed on said display, every time the angle of direction in which said mobile terminal is pointed is obtained from a direction detecting device as direction data;
• and
• a target object display determination section for displaying on said display a direction from said mobile terminal to an actual target object in a manner such that the direction from said mobile terminal to the actual target object is shown in a location other than said angular difference with said coordinate point being regarded as a center, based on the angle of direction in which said mobile terminal is pointed, the current location of said mobile terminal and a location information of the actual target object, every time said direction data and said positioning data are obtained from said direction detecting device and said location detecting device respectively.
