Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and programs accept an area search condition that limits a facility search to facilities located within a specific position range. The apparatus, methods, and programs access stored facility data, the facility data including area information and position information for each facility in the stored facility data. Based on the stored area information, the apparatus, methods, and programs extract candidate facilities from the stored facility data that are located within an area that includes the specific position range and read out the position information for each of the extracted candidate facilities. Based on the read out position information, the apparatus, methods, and programs select the candidate facilities that are located within the specific position range for display.
