Publication number: 20100274476Abstract: A vehicle owner can express a display screen that displays a map in a color that matches an interior design. On a map view screen that displays a map for route guidance on a display screen, icons that indicate current navigation functions, and icons that indicate touch switches that are operated to change current navigation functions are displayed. A color change operation screen is used to change the color of the icons that indicate navigation functions and the icons that are operated to change navigation functions on the display screen. Accordingly, the display screen can be expressed in colors that match the interior design of the vehicle. Moreover, the colors of the map view screen used for route guidance do not change; only the icons that indicate navigation functions and icons that are operated to change navigation functions are changed. The general map colors are thus maintained according to natural usage conditions that blend into the overall design.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2008Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: Aisin AW Co.LtdInventors: Yuki Kojima, Sadafumi Higuchi, Tsuyoshi Hoshino, Naoki Maekawa
