Abstract:
An in-vehicle obstacle information notification apparatus for displaying an intersection map on a screen of a display section and superimposing a movable body mark on the intersection map when an own vehicle is in an intersection-surrounding area is disclosed. The display section displays the intersection map in a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, an upper direction of the map is fixed to a given direction, which is determined before the entry into the intersection. In the second mode, the upper direction of the map on the screen is determined based on own vehicle direction, which is changed at a turn at the intersection. Based on information on a movable body in the intersection-surrounding area, the in-vehicle obstacle information notification apparatus determines whether to set the first mode or the second mode as a display mode of the display section.
