Abstract
To provide a map-information display system for a movable body capable of retrieving proper map information according to a route having been passed through by the movable body and/or a route to be traveled by the movable body and displaying the information. A limited-area map-information generation device for retrieving map information of only a limited area based on coordinate information of positions on a route on a map showing the positions on the route passed through and to be traveled by a movable body includes a route generation device for generating a route for the movable body based on the coordinate information of the positions on the route and the road information, and a retrieval device for converting banner-like shaped-area map information.
Claims11
A map-information display system for a movable body, said system comprising:
- a coordinate-information generation means for generating coordinate information of positions on a passed through route and a to be traveled route by said movable body on a map;
- a limited-area map-information generation means for generating map information of a limited area by retrieving map information of only said limited area based on said coordinate information of positions on said passed through and to be traveled routes from map information which includes road information and is stored in a storage medium, said limited-area map-information generation means including:
- a route generation means for generating a route for said movable body based on said coordinate information of positions on said route and said road information;
- and
- a retrieval means for converting banner-shaped-area map information into said map information of said limited area;
- and
- a display means for storing and displaying said map information of said limited area.
A map-information display system for a movable body, said system comprising:
- a map-information supplying apparatus;
- and
- a map-information display apparatus, said map-information display apparatus including:
- a coordinate-information generation means for generating coordinate information of positions on a passed through route and a to be traveled route by said movable body on a map;
- a limited-area map-information generation means for generating map information of a limited area by retrieving map information of only said limited area based on said coordinate information of positions on said passed through and to be traveled routes from map information which includes road information and is stored in a storage medium, said limited-area map-information generation means including:
- a route generation means for generating a route for said movable body based on said coordinate information of positions on said route and said road information;
- and
- a retrieval means for converting banner-shaped-area map information into said map information of said limited area;
- and
- a display means for storing and displaying said map information of said limited area.
