    a transmitting unit that transmits the generated position information to the receiving apparatus; and

    the receiving apparatus comprising;

    a receiving unit that receives the generated position information; and

    an identifying unit that identifies a second reference point on the second digital map corresponding to the first reference point on the first digital map and identifies a second target position on the second digital map by using the identified second reference point and the relative coordinates information.
