Terminal apparatus
First Claim
1. A terminal apparatus that is mounted and used on a mobile unit and that acquires content related to a position, comprising:
- a content list storage section that stores a content list storing at least one pair of an address of the content and the position;
a position detector that detects a position of the mobile unit;
a specifying section which defines a region including an area forward in a traveling direction of the mobile unit based on the detected position of the mobile unit, and specifies the position in the region among positions stored in the content list;
a content acquiring section that acquires content associated with the specified position using the address associated with the specified position; and
a presenting section that presents the acquired content.
