Directions (ϑ m ) to be followed at the respective route positions to reach the next route position or destination are calculated, and stored in a RAM (9) in association with data (x m ,y m ) indicating the respective route positions. Based on the stored data, the calculated directions are indicated (P1...Pm) at respective route positions (T1...Tm) on a display map (17).
