Abstract
A position recognition device that outputs data according to a position has a GPS unit for detecting position, an audio input/output unit for inputting and outputting audio and a memory unit for storing data. Audio data as well as corresponding position data are combined, recorded and stored in the memory unit. When a present position as measured by the GPS unit matches position data stored with the audio data, the position recognition device reproduces the audio data corresponding to the position, making it possible to output essential data at the position.
