1. An on-vehicle apparatus used in a vehicle, the on-vehicle apparatus comprising:
- a storage part that stores first map data having a simplified content as compared to second map data, the second map data being displayed on an on-vehicle display and being used for route guidance;
an image generator that generates a map image based on the first map data;
a near field communication part including a transmitter, the near field communication part further including a receiver that receives from a portable electronic device, specification information specifying the attribute of the user of the portable electronic device; and
a data generator that generates the first map data based on the second map data, the data generator generating the first map data by changing a part of element data included in the second map data in accordance with the attribute specified by the specification information, whereinwhen the portable electronic device that is a communication partner of the on-vehicle apparatus is in the vehicle, the transmitter transmits the map image to the portable electronic device in response to a demand from the portable electronic device,the first map data is map data generated by changing a part of element data included in the second map data in accordance with an attribute of a user of the portable electronic device without changing the second map data,a user of the of the on-vehicle apparatus is a driver of the vehicle, andthe user of the portable electronic device is a passenger other than the driver of the vehicle.

Abstract
A storage part of an on-vehicle apparatus stores simplified map data of which content is simplified as compared to original map data used for route guidance. An image generator of the on-vehicle apparatus retrieves the simplified map data stored on the storage part and generates a map image based on the simplified map data. Then a transmitter of the on-vehicle apparatus transmits the map image generated by the image generator to a portable device, in response to a demand from the portable device.
