1. A map edit apparatus for editing a map file comprising:
- a display device that controls a display of a map, a camera symbol on the map corresponding to a camera set at a real position, and a control pointer at a position neighboring the displayed camera symbol, said control pointer being used for defining a sensing direction of said camera;
a setting device that turns said camera symbol by dragging said control pointer and sets the direction of said camera symbol as an initial sensing direction of said camera; and
a storing device that stores information about the map edited and the direction of said camera symbol as a map edit file.
