First Claim
1. A map information processing apparatus characterized in comprising:
- a map information storage unit for detecting an unregistered road whose information is not included in map information when a vehicle has traveled, and for storing said map information which is updated with addition of said detected unregistered road;
a layer-to-be-updated-with-addition determination processing unit for determining one or more layers which are to be updated with addition of said unregistered road; and
an unregistered road adding and updating unit for adding said unregistered road to said map information storage unit to update said map information with the addition being aimed at the one or more layers determined by said layer-to-be-updated-with-addition determination processing unit.
