`Also when the car approaches a right or left turning point,

`
`
`
`
`
`
`a geographical information of the right or left turning point
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`
`
`
`
`on the identified route is shown in the 1st screen. Moreover
`
`
`
`
`at this time, a detailed map is displayed in the 2nd screen. At
`1. Field of the Invention
`
`
`
`5 this detailed map, a information quantity which is displayed

`
`
`This invention is related to a map display device to

`
`
`progress and a geographical information around the car.
`

`
`
`the improvement of the display of the map information.
`
`
`Moreover a north up map, i.e. a map which above (upper)

`
`
`10 of the map is north is displayed in the 1st screen, a head up
`
`
`A map is shown in a display at a conventional map display

`
`
`map, i.e. a map which above (upper) of the map is the
`device, e.g. a conventional navigation device, a requested
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`direction of the progress is displayed in the 2nd screen.
`
`destination is set and a optimal guide route which links this
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Also when another route is searched at the conventional
`
`
`
`
`destination and a present position of the vehicle is retrieved
`
`
`
`
`
`navigation device, based on this another new route, it is
`
`and is shown. Then when a route but this route are required
`15
`
`
`
`guided to the destination. For example this another route is
`
`
`
`
`while the vehicle is traveling this route, this another route is
`
`
`
`searched according to a request of a user when route during
`
`
`
`
`
`
`searched and is guided. In the search of this another route,
`
`
`
`
`traveling is congested. This another route has sometimes a
`
`a search cost of the road which is traveling at present is
`
`
`
`
`
`very big round to a previous route and the previous route had
`raised and the another route is re-searched by a condition
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`been erased and could not compare the previous route and
`which is different from a search condition of the route which

`the another route. Further plural route which is searched by

`
`
`is guiding at present. In this way, a road to be traveling at

`
`
`the different search condition could not be compared each
`
`
`
`present is excluded and a new guide route is searched.
`other.
`Also in the conventional device, when a vehicle deviates
`
`
`
`Moreover the another route is searched when the vehicle
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`from a guide route, new route is automatically re-searched
`
`
`
`
`deviates from a route or at the time of a indication of a user,
`
`
`
`
`from the present position. Or when a re-search key is
`25
`
`
`
`and guidance is executed by the another new route. However
`
`
`
`operated, this re-search is executed. At this conventional
`
`
`when another re-searched route is making a big round fairly
`
`
`
`
`
`device, a neighborhood of a present position is searched first
`
`
`
`
`to the previous route, the previous route had better guide.
`
`
`
`and a whole route is searched by a request of a user. In the
`
`
`However the previous route had been erased and could not
`
`
`
`search of the neighborhood, a route which returns to a
`
`
`
`compare the previous route and the another route. Also the
`
`
`
`
`previous route is searched and in a whole route searching, a
`30
`
`
`route by the above neighborhood searching and the route by
`whole route to the destination is searched.
`
`
`
`all the range searches can not be compared, too.
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`
`Moreover it is in the case like the following, too. The car
`
`
`deviates from the guide route temporarily because the
`In the conventional navigation device, one map is shown
`
`
`
`
`
`
`vehicle deviates off road of the guide route while traveling
`
`
`
`
`in a whole screen of a display device. However recently the
`35
`
`
`
`and returns to the above guide route after that. For example,
`
`
`
`
`
`price of the liquid crystal display declined and the screen
`
`
`
`it is to finish a suddenly occurring occupation or to go
`
`
`
`
`also get widely. Therefore geographical information in a
`
`
`
`
`around a road which is crowed. However in the conventional
`
`
`wider range is displayed, and a more detailed geographical
`
`
`
`
`navigation device, a mark of the car (vehicle) becomes a
`
`
`information expands more and is shown.
`
`
`
`
`guide route therefore the previous 40 center of a map screen,
`
`
`However at the time of some movement condition, the
`
`
`
`
`isn't included in the screen and sometimes the guide route
`
`
`geographical information in the wide range isn't necessary
`
`
`
`isn't shown at all. In this case, a direction and a position of
`
`
`
`sometimes. For example when the vehicle (car) approaches
`
`
`
`the previous guide route can not be immediately confirmed
`
`
`
`
`
`the destinatio
