ABSTRACT:
A map displaying apparatus for improving the visual recognition of an object displayed as a 3D image. A map data acquisition section acquires map data to be displayed for navigation purposes. A displayed state estimation section receives the map data acquired by the map data acquisition section, and estimates a displayed state of the displayed object based on the map data. A display mode determination section determines whether the displayed state as estimated by the displayed state estimation section satisfies a predetermined criterion or not, thereby determining whether to modify a default display mode. When determining that a modification is to be applied, the display mode determination section modifies the default display mode to determine an actual display mode. In accordance with the determined display mode of each displayed object, the displayed image generation section generates image data for displaying a 3D map from the acquired map data.
