Abstract
On a vehicle, a device for estimating a present position such as a GPS device and a communication device such as a cell phone are installed. The vehicle transmits a detected present position to an information center at specified intervals. On the other hand, the information center sets a plurality of areas in a region to which information is transmitted, and sets information for transmission for each area. When receiving data indicating the present position of the vehicle from the vehicle, the information center specifies, by using the data, an area where the vehicle is located, and transmits the information set for the area to the vehicle.
