Abstract
A model transforming data generating portion extracts parameter data corresponding to a given road area from two-dimensional map data in a two-dimensional map data storage portion Subsequently, the model transforming data generating portion reads out pattern data corresponding to the specified road area from a pattern model storage portion and generates model transforming data. An image data generating portion transforms a corresponding three-dimensional map display model by using the generated model transforming data to generate three-dimensional image data. The generated three-dimensional image data is given to and displayed in a display The operator operates an input portion on the basis of the contents displayed in the display to correct the generated model transforming data.
