  • Publication number: 20190041231
    Abstract: This invention provides an eyeglasses-type wearable information terminal including a position detector that detects a position, and a display controller that displays a map image for guidance to a destination to perform display suitable for a current situation during guidance to the destination. Here, as a characteristic feature, the display controller changes the transmittance of display of the map image in accordance with the distance between a current place and a point to change a traveling direction. This makes it possible to reliably change the traveling direction at the point to change the traveling direction.
