Map information displaying device

A map information display device comprising:

• a position detection section which detects a present position of a displacement body,
• a display section which displays a present position of a displacement body detected by said position detection section and a map image containing a road currently traveled by said displacement body, and
• a control section which displays a map image on said display section and which displays a present position of said displacement body on a map image displayed on said display section,
• wherein said control section varies a display position of a present position which is displayed on said display section depending on an operational state of said displacement body,
• wherein a map data storage section is provided which stores map data for displaying a map image on said display section, and a road attribute of each road is stored in relation to respective road data in said map data stored in said map data storage section, and
• said control section varies a display position of a present position which is displayed on said display section depending on a road attribute of a currently traveled road.

A map information display device comprising:

• a position detection section which detects a present position of a displacement body,
• a display section which displays a present position of a displacement body detected by said position detection section and a map image containing a road currently traveled on by said displacement body, and
• a control section which displays a map image on said display section and which displays a present position of said displacement body on a map image displayed on said display section,
• wherein said control section varies a display position of a present position which is displayed on said display section along concentric tracks away from a center of said display section, depending on a display state of a map on said display section.
