Abstract
In an information display system for a vehicle, an information receiving section receives positional information indicative of a present vehicle position and destination information indicative of a destination of the vehicle to derive a recommended route. A travel distance calculating section calculates a travelable distance on the basis of the obtained information. An editing section sets a travelable area of the vehicle according to the positional information, the travelable distance and guidance information, and edits route information including a recommended route within the travelable area. An outputting section displays the route information.
