Abstract: Present location data positioned by a present location positioner and an image of the scene of the present location taken by a camera are transmitted to the outside via a radio wave receiver/transmitter. On the other hand, a route from the present location to a destination is set by entry of the destination, and the location a certain value of kilometers ahead of the present location is designated by an operation part in the set route. Then, image data including the data on the designated location is received via a radio wave receiver/transmitter, and the received image is displayed on a display part. Thus, the visual scene of the location designated in the route to the destination can be received and displayed beforehand.
