MAP DISPLAY DEVICE AND MAP DISPLAY METHOD

摘要

A map display device includes a map display unit that causes a touch panel to display a map, and a scrolling-screen display unit that causes the touch panel to display a scrolling screen that includes a direction designation region for a user to designate a direction to scroll the map. The center of the direction designation region corresponds to a reference point defined on the map being displayed on the touch panel. The scrolling-screen display unit causes a significant-object icon that indicates the existence or absence of a predetermined significant object in each direction viewed from the reference point to be displayed on the outer periphery of the direction designation region at a position corresponding to the direction.
