ABSTRACT:
A map display apparatus for displaying a map image at a plurality of display resolutions includes the following elements. An information recording unit associates an image signal of a captured image with imaging position information to record the associated signal and information as image information. A map information storage unit stores map information for the map image. A classification information recording processing unit divides a map area shown by the map information into mesh cells such that different mesh cell sizes are suitable for the respective display resolutions, and generates and records imaging classification information. A display control unit determines on each of mesh cells on the map image, each mesh cell having a size suitable for the display resolution, on the basis of the imaging classification information whether the image information is relevant to a mesh cell, and arranges an imaging identification representation in the appropriate mesh cell.
