Abstract
There is provided an echo display device that is easy to manipulate and allows echoes that appear on an echo screen to be designated easily, quickly, and reliably with a cursor. An information display device includes a display componenta track ball, and a controller. The display componentdisplays a radar image in real time based on echo information inputted from a radar antenna. The track ball is manipulated to move a cursordisplayed in the radar image. The controller includes a cursor display position determination component, and this cursor display position determination component determines the display position of the cursorin the radar image based on manipulation of the track ball. Also, when the display position of an echo E1 is within a specific range from a cursor display position (position P2) after the cursorhas moved by manipulation of the track ball, the cursor display position determination component moves the display position of the cursorto a position P3 that coincides with this echo E1.
