Abstract
A vehicle position display controller performs a branch determination processing of determining whether a vehicle has entered a branch road. In addition, in a case where a connecting road through which a currently traveled road is connected to a road extending in parallel with the currently traveled road lies ahead of a position of the vehicle, the vehicle position display controller performs a road shape conversion processing of subjecting the road extending in parallel to the branch determination processing on the assumption that the road extending in parallel is the branch road by making a correction of an angle between the currently traveled road and the connecting road. However, in a case where the vehicle travels at a speed equal to or greater than a predetermined speed, the vehicle position display controller does not perform the road shape conversion processing.
