1. A map retrieving system having a learning function comprising:
- display means for displaying data inputted thereto;
a map storing section for storing a plurality of sectional maps for a local area, each of said plurality of sectional maps being respectively assigned priority data; and
,a control device, connecting said display means and said map storing section, responsive to a map display instruction inputted thereto, for retrieving a first one of said plurality of sectional maps from said map data storing section based on the highest of said priority data and outputting the retrieved first sectional map with the highest priority data to said display means for display.

8. A map retrieving system comprising:
-
display means for displaying data inputted thereto; a map storing means for storing maps of a plurality of local areas, each map comprising a plurality of sections; designating means for designating a first one of the plurality of local areas based on an identifier of the local area inputted into the designating means and generating a map display instruction; and
,control means responsive to the map display instruction, for retrieving a first section among a plurality of sections of a first map for the designated first local area from said map storing means based on priorities respectively preassigned to said map sections, and outputting the retrieved map section to said display means, the retrieved map section having the highest priority. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A map system for hierarchically retrieving and displaying a map in accordance with stored data, the system comprising:
-
map data storage means for storing map data indicative of said map to be displayed, the whole area of said map being divided into a plurality of sections, said map data storage means storing map section data representing each of said plurality of sections in a conversion table wherein each of said map section data is stored associated with local area name data representing a name of the section and historical count data indicative of a number of system references to the section data; an input device for inputting a first local area name into the system from a system user; map system control means for i) matching a first plurality of stored local area name data in said map data storage means with said first inputted local area name ii) selecting a one of said first plurality of stored local area name data based on the magnitude of the plurality count data associated with said first plurality of stored local area name data and iii) retrieving from the map data storage means as display data the map section data associated with said selected one local area name data; and
,display means responsive to said display data for displaying the retrieved map section data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
