In accordance with operation, data on a starting point, a destination, and a display scale are inputted to set a first route from the starting point to the destination based on the inputted data on the starting point and the destination. In case an obstacle which blocks a smooth traveling of the vehicle is detected in the first route, a second route to bypass the obstacle is searched for. In accordance with the inputted display scale, the range of display of the map information to be displayed is set. With the traveling of the vehicle, the map information to be displayed in the range of display is successively updated. In case the searched for second route is to be displayed, the new range of display is set irrespective of the inputted display scale so that the overall second route is displayed simultaneously with the first route.
