Abstract

There is provided a technique that can appropriately display route icons. A map display system includes a display section obtaining part that obtains display sections each being a section of a route to be displayed on a map; a connecting point obtaining part that obtains a connecting point, the connecting point being a point where different routes are connected together on the display sections; and a map display part that displays at least one route icon for each split section, the route icon being an image associated with a route, and the split section being obtained by splitting each of the display sections by the connecting point.

Claims (17)

1. A map display system comprising:

at least one processor configured to implement:

a display section obtaining part that obtains display sections each being a section of a route to be displayed on a map;

a connecting point obtaining part that obtains a connecting point, the connecting point being a point where different routes are connected together on the display sections; and

a map display part that displays at least one route icon for each split section, the route icon being an image associated with a route, and each split section being obtained by splitting each of the display sections by the connecting point,

wherein the connecting point is a same-rank connecting point where routes of a same rank are connected together on the display sections and the map display part displays the route icon at a center of the split section having two continuous connecting points at both ends of the split section.

2. The map display system according to claim 1 , wherein the map display part displays the route icon at a center of the split section divided by one connecting point and an edge of the map.

3. The map display system according to claim 1 , wherein when there is not even a single connecting point, the map display part displays the route icon at a center of each of the display sections without splitting the display sections.

4. The map display system according to claim 1 , wherein the map display part does not display the route icon on the split section whose length is less than a threshold value.

5. The map display system according to claim 1 , wherein when a plurality of route icons overlap each other on the map, the map display part displays only one of the overlapping route icons.

6. The map display system according to claim 1 , wherein the map display part displays the route icon at the center of the split section when routes of a different rank cross the split section.

7. A map display program stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium causing a computer processor to function as:

a display section obtaining part that obtains display sections each being a section of a route to be displayed on a map;

a connecting point obtaining part that obtains a connecting point, the connecting point being a point where different routes are connected together on the display sections; and

a map display part that displays at least one route icon for each split section, the route icon being an image associated with a route, and each split section being obtained by splitting each of the display sections by the connecting point,

wherein the connecting point is a same-rank connecting point where routes of a same rank are connected together on the display sections and the map display part displays the route icon at a center of the split section having two continuous connecting points at both ends of the split section.

8. The map display program according to claim 7 , wherein the map display part displays the route icon at the center of the split section when routes of a different rank cross the split section.
