Crossover guide information creation device

摘要

P To provide an apparatus for creating intersection guide information that creates such intersection guide information for users passing through an intersection that includes a most remarkable facility as a landmark. PSOLUTION: In a virtual space shown by three-dimensional map data and a point before an objective intersection ON the approach road to the objective intersection shown by an objective passing route is set as a START point 401 and the objective intersection is set as an end point 403. A path provided along the objective passing route from the START point to the end point is set as a path 400 of a virtual camera 410 (a2), and while the virtual camera 410 is being moved along the virtual camera path 400, the virtual space is picked up by the virtual camera 410 (b). Thus and the integrated value of an area (d) that a three-dimensional graphic corresponding to each facility is reflected onto the picked-up image is computed. The facility having a maximum integrated value is used as a landmark facility and the intersection guide information showing the landmark facility when passing through the objective intersection to the objective passing route is created.
