OBJECT LAYOUT DEVICE AND OBJECT LAYOUT METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an object layout device for deciding the layout of objects so that many objects are hardly overlapped with each other at the time of displaying these objects on a map. SOLUTION: This object layout device for deciding the layout of plural objects to be displayed superimposedly on the map is provided with an area information storage part 104 and a display information storage part 105 in which range information for specifying display ranges on the map of pertinent objects with respect to plural objects is stored and an object layout part 110 which decides the layout of respective objects by calculating display ranges of the objects based on the range information and by changing the calculated display range with respect to either one of object in these objects so as not to overlap the display range of at least one object in objects whose display ranges are overlapped based on the result of the calculation.
