Navigation apparatus and navigation method
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor and a memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor, control;
obtaining current position information indicating a current position;
determining a first mode and a second mode based on inclination information;
in the first mode, displaying, on a captured image obtained by imaging at the apparatus, characteristic point information and a predetermined object indicating distance or direction from the current position to the characteristic point information, wherein one or more indicators designating one or more predetermined ranges are displayed on the captured image with the characteristic point information, each indicator indicating a predetermined distance from the current position, such that the characteristic point information is displayed in one of the predetermined ranges or at a boundary between two of the predetermined ranges; and
wherein the characteristic point information is displayed in accordance with direction information which is obtained from the apparatus, in which the direction information indicates a direction in which the captured image is obtained.

Abstract
A navigation apparatus includes: a current-position information acquisition section obtaining measured current-position information; a camera section obtaining a captured image of a subject; a direction detection section detecting a direction when obtaining the captured image by the camera section; from characteristic-point information related to multiple predetermined characteristic points stored in a storage section, a characteristic-point information extraction section extracting the characteristic-point information related to the characteristic points located in the vicinity of the current position and in a range shown in the direction; and a control section displaying the captured image on a display section, wherein the control section displays a predetermined direction line indicating a distance from the current position on the captured image, obtains a distance and a direction from the current position to the characteristic point, and displays the characteristic-point information at a position corresponding to the distance and the direction on the captured image.
