Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for displaying a map in a display unit of a mobile terminal device such that the relationship between a moving direction of the mobile terminal device and a direction of the displayed map is easily understandable. When the system detects that the mobile terminal device exists in a particular region on a path, it sends map data of the region to the mobile terminal device. The mobile terminal device receives the map data and displays a map of the region such that the moving direction of the portable terminal device is aligned with a top of the map displayed in the display unit.
