ABSTRACT:
Such a system is provided in which a map can be supplied to a user to permit the user to grasp the geography easily, if the address or the telephone number of an installation of destination, such as a restaurant, is stated, even though the scheme of displaying a map picture is not stated by an information provider in a text document of a preset format. An HTML analyzer211initiates an analysis loop of an HTML document being browsed to extract a location information letter/character string, which is seemingly an address or a telephone number, from the HTML document. A location searcher212calculates the latitude/longitude of a site from the location information letter/character string received through controller217,using a site information database213,and sends the so calculated latitude/longitude through controller217to a map picture generating unit214.The map picture generating unit214references the map information database215connected to it to generate a map picture of an area around the site of destination, e.g., a restaurant.
