When printing an electronic map displayed on a display device on a medium, a dot pattern indicating XY coordinate values and/or a code value is superimposed, thereby realizing a user-friendly medium and its print output. Print output control means displays on a display device, an electronic map information defined by latitude/longitude downloaded from a server via a network or read out from a storage medium; converts the latitude/longitude indicating a position on the electronic map information into XY coordinate values according to a predetermined scale; stores the XY coordinate values and the latitude/longitude while correlating them to each other in storage means; and superimpose/print a dot pattern obtained by patterning the XY coordinate values as a dot code on a medium on which the electronic map is printed according to the scale. |
