when printing an electronic map displayed on a display device on a surface of a medium, a user-friendly medium and print output thereof can be realized by superimposing and printing a dot pattern signifying XY coordinate values and/or code values. The print output control unit displays on the display device information of an electronic map defined by latitude and longitude downloaded from a server via a network or read from a storage medium, converts the latitude and longitude which indicate a location in the information of the electronic map into XY coordinate values in accordance with a predetermined scale size, stores the latitude and longitude and the XY coordinate values by correlating the same in a storage unit, and superimposes and prints a dot pattern where the XY coordinate values are patterned as a dot code, according to the scale size, on a medium on which the electronic map is printed. |
