Abstract

PURPOSE:To display automatically a map in an optimum scaled-up ratio for a vehicle speed without resetting by a driver, by selecting the optimum scaled-up ratio on the basis of a calculated running speed of a vehicle so as to control the display of the map. CONSTITUTION:When a driver inputs the current position of a vehicle, a limit value of a change rate of the position on a displayed map, etc. through an input means 1, map informations are read out of a memory means 6 by a control means 5, and a map showing the vicinity of the current position of the vehicle is displayed in a display means 7. When the vehicle starts moving, a speed calculating means 3 calculates the running speed of the vehicle in response to informations from an vehicle position detecting means 2. Based on a value obtained from this calculation, an enlargement ratio selecting means 4 calculates a change in the position of the vehicle on the displayed map, compares the same with the set limit value of a change rate of the position, and selects and determines an optimum enlargement ratio. Accordingly, a map for displaying a position in the optimum scaled-up ratio can be displayed automatically for a vehicle speed without necessitating resetting.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. The driver uses the input means 1 to input the current position of the vehicle and the limit value of the rate of change in the position of the vehicle on the displayed map. As a result, the display control means 5 reads the map data from the storage means 6 and displays a map around the current position of the vehicle on the display means 7. When the vehicle starts moving, the vehicle position detecting means 2 sends the vehicle position change information to the display control means 5. On the other hand, the speed calculation means 3 calculates the traveling speed of the vehicle based on the information from the vehicle position detection means 3 and sends the information to the magnification rate selection means 4. Based on this information, the magnification rate selection means 4 calculates the change in the position of the vehicle on the displayed map, and compares it with the limit value of the rate of change in the position of the vehicle initially set by the input means 1. When the change in vehicle position exceeds the upper limit value initially set by the driver, the magnification rate selection means 4 instructs the display control means 5 to display at a lower magnification rate. Further, if the value falls below the lower limit of the initially set limit value for a certain period of time, the magnification rate selection means 4 instructs the display control means 5 to increase the magnification rate. The display control means 5 reads map data from the storage means 6 based on this information and displays it on the display means 7.
