Abstract
A vehicle information processing unitcollects vehicle information, which is information relating to the discharge amount of exhaust gas of at least one at any of a predetermined point, a predetermined section, and a predetermined period of time. An ecological traveling history DBaccumulates the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information processing unitfor each point through which the vehicle has traveled. A display devicedisplays the vehicle information accumulated in the ecological traveling history DBby an image on a map including each point for each point through which the vehicle has traveled. Therefore, it becomes possible to allow a driver to recognize previous traveling performance at the point through which the vehicle has traveled, and to more effectively provide the driver with a guide or a motivation to perform ecological traveling, thereby providing a more useful in-vehicle apparatus which allows the driver to perform ecological traveling.
