Electronic device and program for displaying map
First Claim
1. A computer program product embedded in a computer-readable medium for use in displaying a map using map data and photograph data photographing an earth surface, the computer program product implementing the steps of:
- determining, within photograph data of a display target region, dot portions corresponding to a road or a facility, and chan in the dot portions corresponding to the road or the facility in respect of only a display attribute of the road or the facility from the photograph data that was formed by photographing an earth surface, by being determined based on the map data relative to the road or the facility, dot portions, other than the dot onions corresponding to the road or the facility in the modified photograph data remaining unchanged from the photograph data that was formed by photographing the earth surface, to generate modified photograph data; and
causing a display unit to display the modified photograph data after the display attribute of the determined dot portions is changed to modified data.

Abstract
When a guiding route is included in a display target region at a photograph display mode, route data of the guiding route is also read. Within the read route data, information of a region for editing a photograph is stored. This information includes a road kind (color information), coordinates of the start/end points of the road, and a road width when editing is for a road. Next, photograph data is read, so that a color of the photograph data is edited based on the stored information of the route data. For instance, a color of the photograph data in a corresponding road region is changed to red that represents “national road.”

7. An electronic device for displaying a map, the electronic device comprising:
-
a photograph data storing unit that generates modified photograph data, the modified photograph data containing dot portions corresponding to a road or a facility, the dot portions corresponding to the road or the facility having been changed in respect of only display attribute of the road or the facility from photographer data that was formed by photographing an earth surface, by being determined based on map data relative to the road or the facility, the dot portions other than the dot portions corresponding to the road or the facility in the modified photograph data remaining unchanged from the photograph data that was formed by photographing the earth surface; and a display control unit that causes a display unit to display a display target region based on the modified photograph data read from the photograph data storing unit. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method for displaying a map using map data and photograph data photographing an earth surface, the method comprising steps of:
-
determining, in an electronic device for displaying map, within photograph data of a display target region, dot portions corresponding to a road or a facility, and changing the dot portions corresponding to the road or the facility in respect of only a display attribute of the road or the facility from the photograph data that was formed by photographing an earth surface, by being determined based on map data relative to the road or the facility dot portions, other than the dot portions corresponding to the road or the facility in the modified photograph data remaining unchanged from the photograph data that was formed by photographing the earth surface, to generate modified photograph data; and causing a display unit to display the modified photograph data after the display attribute of the determined dot portions is changed to modified data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
