A vehicle-mounted device is configured to execute a predetermined function as a foreground process and a TV function as a background process. The vehicle-mounted device is provided with a displaying device. An image corresponding to the predetermined function is displayed on the displaying device when the predetermined function is executed. The device further includes a TV program switching system, a small image generating system that generates a small image when the program switching system is operated to switch the TV programs. The small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function. The device further includes a display control system that displays the small image on the displaying devices such that the small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function, the display control system extinguishing the small image at a predetermined timing.

A navigation device, method, and program provides output information on service facilities that exist on a road such as an expressway. A display provides a map in a general road display mode that includes facilities such as general roads, family restaurants, and convenience stores, and also can display a highway mode. The highway mode can be a predetermined expressway display mode which displays expressways and facilities on the expressways, and combines a single map focusing mainly on expressways so that the expressways can be easily recognized along with vehicle moving images. A searching and outputting portion searches for a predetermined number of facility information items of a desired type of element facility from the road map data in accordance with a provided predetermined operation, and outputs the information items when the present location is in the expressway display mode, and an element facility exists ahead on the expressway.
