1. A digital image processing apparatus, comprising:

  • an input unit receiving user input information of a real travel path, wherein the user input information includes at least one of a point of departure, a point of arrival, a means of transportation, a departure time of a transportation and an arrival time of a transportation;

    a sensor unit including a Global Positioning System (GPS), the sensor unit detecting position change information of the digital image processing apparatus by using a GPS signal;

    a storage unit including a memory, the storage unit storing path information of the real travel path, path information of virtual travel paths and at least one scene image of the virtual travel paths, wherein the path information of the real travel path and the path information of the virtual travel paths respectively include travel path length, travel path shape, and travel path direction information;

    a display unit; and

    a controller controlling the input unit, the sensor unit, the storage and the display unit, wherein the controller is further;

    acquiring the path information of the real travel path corresponding to the user input information,detecting similarity levels of the virtual travel paths by comparing the travel path length, travel path shape, and travel path direction information between the real travel path and the virtual travel paths,selecting one virtual travel path respective to a highest similarity level among the detected similarity levels or respective to a user selection,calculating a travel speed by calculating the detected position change information of the digital image processing apparatus, andcontrolling the display unit to play the scene image of the selected virtual travel path for a user using the means of transportation and adjust a play speed of the scene image of the selected virtual travel path by multiplying the detected travel speed by a ratio of a distance of the selected virtual travel path to a distance of the real travel path,wherein, when the controller detected that the digital image processing apparatus deviates from the real travel path by comparing the detected position change information and the path information of the selected virtual travel path, the controller changes the selected virtual travel path in accordance with the detected position change information.
