The positional positioning means measures positional coordinates by receiving radio weve from a satellite. The imaging means is arranged in a predetermined position for the GPS positional positioning means. The direction detecting means detects a photographing direction during photographig by the imaging means. The arithmetic processing means forms landscape data in which imaging data that is an output from the imaging means is associated with orientation data that is an output from the direction detecting means.
