Abstract: An information provision system 11 is provided which provides in advance a travel data package 10 via the Internet 1, in which data effective for measuring the current position such as the longitude and latitude information of a travel site location is stored based on itinerary information in such a manner as to be associated with an itinerary. Then, as a result of going on a travel by storing the distributed travel data package 10 in a portable terminal 6, it is possible to measure the current position in a short time because the longitude and latitude information, for example, of a scheduled place of the itinerary can be known in advance at a travel site.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a small portable information processing apparatus. A GPS unit (11, 300) is attachable to and detachable from a rear surface of a portable information terminal (10, 350), so that the GPS unit (11, 300) can be mounted on the rear surface of the portable information terminal (10, 350) to make it serviceable only when necessary, thus improving convenience. Power is supplied to the GPS unit (11, 300, 650) only when an antenna unit (112, 500, 613) is set in a serviceable state. This prevents the exhaustion of a battery.
