Abstract
A navigation system is provided with: a position measuring device for measuring a current position of a movable body to which the navigation system is equipped; a storing device for storing aerial photograph data; a displaying device; and a display controlling device coupled to the position measuring device, the storing device, and the displaying device, for making the displaying device display a mark indicating the measured current position on an aerial photograph image on the basis of the measured current position and the stored aerial photograph data.
Claims7
A navigation system comprising:
- position measuring means for measuring a current position of a movable body to which said navigation system is equipped;
- storing means for storing aerial photograph data;
- displaying means;
- and
- display controlling means coupled to said position measuring means, said storing means, and said displaying means, for obtaining a relative position of the measured current position with respect to the stored aerial photograph data including the measured current position, and controlling said displaying means to display a mark indicating the measured current position at the obtained relative position on an aerial photograph image on the basis of the measured current position and the stored aerial photograph data.
A navigation system comprising:
- position measuring means for measuring a current position of a movable body to which said navigation system is equipped;
- storing means for storing aerial photograph data and map data;
- displaying means;
- and
- display controlling means coupled to said position measuring means, said storing means, and said displaying means, for correlating the stored aerial photograph data with the stored map data, obtaining a relative position of the measured current position with respect to the stored map data, and controlling said displaying means to display a mark indicating the measured current position at the obtained relative position on an aerial photograph image on the basis of the measured current position and the correlated aerial photograph data.
