In a map display apparatus, a display processor causes a display to display a map based on map information. A priority object setting unit determines a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in the map. A scroll processor scrolls the map displayed on the display in step with a scroll operation performed by a user. In a case where the priority object is located outside the map displayed on the display, the operating feel controller adds directivity to an operating feel imparted to the scroll operation in such a manner that a scroll operation for scrolling the map toward the priority object and a scroll operation for scrolling the map in any other direction arouse different operating feels.

A system includes a scouting vehicle. The scouting vehicle includes a spatial location system configured to derive a geographic position of the scouting vehicle. The scouting vehicle further includes a computing device communicatively coupled to the spatial location system and to a communication system, the computing device comprising a processor configured to create a shape on a map based on a drive of the scouting vehicle. The scouting vehicle also includes the communication system configured to transmit the geographic position, a recording of the drive, the shape, or a combination thereof, to a base station.

A tile map service (TMS) device and method are provided. The TMS device includes a storage configured to store map layers that have different map types, map data of an image tile form having a level of detail (LOD) structure of each of the map layers, and a tile map in which image tile maps of a plurality of map layers are merged; a communicator configured to receive map request information including two or more map types, an LOD level, and arbitrary map coordinates from a client; and a provider configured to provide a tile map corresponding to the map request information to the client.

An operation management system for dump trucks includes a storage device 130, 170 in which map data indicative of a road map for dump trucks are stored, a plurality of dump trucks 200 configured to travel based on the map data, and a control device 100, 150 configured to permit, upon updating of part 510 of the map data, updating of the part of the map data when, although the part of the map data is included in any of a plurality of mining fields 400, 330, 460, no dump truck exists in any of the plurality of mining fields.

An information processing apparatus includes: a path planning unit that generates path data to a destination of a certain object; a filter setting unit that sets a filter representing an acquisition range to map data; and a map data acquisition unit that acquires, from the map data, data in a range set by the filter.

Guidance systems, methods, and programs acquire, from a map information providing device, update information for updating map information that is stored in guidance memory, and update, on the basis of the acquired update information, the stored map information. The systems, methods, and programs acquire, from the map information providing device, temporarily delivered information that is used for guidance until the update is complete. The temporarily delivered information has an identical data structure to the stored map information and is replaceable with the stored map information. Until the update is complete, the systems, methods, and programs provide guidance on the basis of the acquired temporarily delivered information. After the update is compete, however, the systems, methods, and programs provide guidance on the basis of the updated map information.

Provided herein is a system comprising: one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform: identifying, in a map, one or more entities that change over time; predicting an amount of change of the identified one or more entities over time; and updating the map based on the predicted amount of change of the identified one or more entities over time.

Route search systems, methods, and programs acquire movement paths of a plurality of users, and acquire difference values for a plurality of characteristics. The difference values each indicate a difference between a characteristic of a reference route and a characteristic of the movement paths of the plurality of users. Systems, methods, and programs classify the movement paths of each of the users into a plurality of types such that movement paths with a plurality of similar difference values belong to a same type, set a cost of a road for each of the types; and search for a route on the basis of the set cost.

Provided is an information processing device including: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire action information of a user, and space information and time information that are associated with the action information; and a map representation processing unit configured to consider the time information when executing map representation of the action information on a basis of the space information.
