Abstract: Display devices and programs display a guide image on a display mounted on a vehicle so as to be visually recognized such that the guide image is superimposed on a view ahead of the vehicle. The guide image provides guidance about a travel direction of the vehicle that travels on a travel path after leaving a guide branch point. The devices and programs display the guide image in a manner such that a region overlapping a nearby object present on a near side of the travel path on which the vehicle travels is removed from the guide image.
