Abstract: A display controller executes a comparison mode if a display state is switched to a second display state after one of multiple files is selected from a list of thumbnail images in a first display state. In the comparison mode, the display controller displays a magnified image of the selected file on a first display area at a size suitable for the number of magnified images displayed on the first display area at that time. Accordingly, a desired image can easily be selected from stored images in a terminal device with a display function such as a cell phone.

Abstract: A navigation system mounted on a vehicle computes in advance an optimal route from a starting point to a destination. When the vehicle travels off the optimal route, the navigation system detects an off-route deviation. When an off-route deviation is detected, the system computes a restoration route from the vehicle's present position to a selected point on the optimal route and rapidly displays navigational information to guide the vehicle thereto. Thus there is no need for the system to compute a new optimal route from the present position to the destination, and there is no delay in supplying the driver with navigational information.

Abstract: A storage medium for map information for a navigation system includes an IC memory chip or an IC memory card of a small memory capacity. This storage medium stores detailed map information of a limited region including part of a highway network and information of the highway network covering a predetermined area which includes the limited region and is wider than the limited region. A system for offering map information for a navigation system includes two storage media. One storage medium is the same as the above-mentioned storage medium and the other storage medium has a small memory capacity. The other storage medium stores detailed map information of a limited region different from the limited region whose information is stored in the one storage medium.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted navigation system initially computes an optimal route from a starting point to a destination. A microcomputer computes the total distance the vehicle has travelled from a signal obtained from an axle sensor and computes the bearing of the vehicle (azimuth) from a signal obtained from a geomagnetic sensor. Then the microcomputer computes the present position of the vehicle from the starting point of the vehicle, its total distance travelled, and its bearing. The system then selects and displays one from among a plurality of arrows stored in a memory, each arrow representing a direction spaced a predetermined angle from an adjacent arrow, to guide the driver from the present position via the next intersection to the destination. This system also detects forked intersections, where two roads are close to the common direction represented by the arrow to be displayed.

Abstract: A navigation system mounted on a vehicle displays a primary direction indication image on a display unit. This primary direction indication image has a proximal portion that represents a road along which the vehicle is now moving and a direction indication portion that represents a road which the vehicle is to enter at the next intersection. One or more auxiliary direction indication images, with direction indication portions that represent other roads connected to the next intersection, are displayed on the display unit together with the primary direction indication image. The direction indication portion of the auxiliary direction indication image extends from the distal end of the proximal portion of the primary direction indication image.

Abstract: In a navigation system for use in a vehicle, an administrative district and a first and a second roads are inputted by an input device. In the inputted administrative districts, an intersection formed by the inputted first and second roads is determined. The determined intersection is provided as at least one of a starting point intersection and a destination intersection. An optimum route from the starting point intersection to the destination intersection is computed.
