  • Patent number: 9739629
    Abstract: Location display systems, methods, and programs acquire guide location information and display a map including the guide locations, as viewed from a reference eyepoint. When a first one of the guide locations and a second one of the guide locations are not close to each other by a predetermined reference distance or shorter, the systems, methods, and programs set guide icons such that, between an icon of a first guide location and an icon of a second guide location, the icon of the guide location closer to the reference eyepoint is displayed preferentially. When the first guide location and the second guide location are close to each other by the predetermined reference distance or shorter, the systems, methods, and programs set the guide icons such that the icon of the guide location having a higher order of precedence in preset preference rules is displayed preferentially.
