  • Publication number: 20210199464
    Abstract: In response to confirmation request from an onboard terminal in a state where updated data after start of a temporary road change is available, a map update server distributes the updated data and instructs the onboard terminal to temporarily use the updated data. In response to the confirmation request in a state where the updated data after end of a temporary road change is available, the server instructs the onboard terminal to use the updated data from before the start of the temporary road change. In response to being instructed to temporarily use the updated data, the terminal uses the updated data that has been distributed. In response to being instructed to use the updated data from before the start of a temporary road change, the terminal temporarily uses the updated data by using map data from before the start of the temporary road change instead of the updated data.
