    a second display area;

    a storage device storing program instructions;

    at least one processor coupled to the storage device, the at least one processor executing said program instructions to provide a game image generation section which generate plural game images representing a game map, the plural game images including a broad-range game image representing a relatively broad range in the game map and a narrow-range game image representing a relatively narrow range in the game map, the broad-range and narrow-range game images each showing the game map viewed from a common direction;

    display control section coupled to the processor, the display control section being configured to display the broad-range game image on the first display area and to display the narrow-range game image on the second display area;

    a coordinate detection section which detects coordinates on the first display area, the second display area or both; and

    a manipulation detection section coupled to the coordinate detection section, the manipulation detection section detecting either one or both of a moving amount and a moving direction of the coordinates;
