Abstract
An on-board navigation system for motor vehicles comprises a first storage medium in which map data in digital form is stored, a control device for gathering map data of a region having a given area including a present location of the vehicle from a first storage medium, and to display a map on a display screen on the basis of the gathered map data, and a second storage medium of non-volatile type into and from which data is written and read-out. The control device is operative to memorize, at the time of the turn-off of a power supply of the vehicle, data gathered immediately before a fall of the power in the second storage medium, and to display the map at the time of a rise-up of the power supply on the basis of the data memorized in the second storage medium.
