Abstract: A method and apparatus of calculating a route involving a freeway junction determines an undesired freeway junction that can pose a driving difficulty, and performs route recalculation that avoids the undesired freeway junction. A distance from a freeway entry to a freeway junction, or a number of freeway entries up to the freeway junction are used to determine the undesired freeway junction. A distance from the freeway junction to a freeway exit is also used to determine the undesired freeway junction. An intermediate point is set to recalculate a route that does not involve the freeway junction to create an overall route.

Abstract: A system of route scheduling for a vehicle presents fuel information for a vehicle. The system receives vehicle related drive information and fuel information from the vehicle via a vehicle interface, including fuel tank capacity, a current fuel level, and fuel economy, calculates routes to points from a current vehicle position based on the drive related information of sensors, estimates first fuel amounts for reaching the points based on the calculated routes and the fuel economy, selects fuel stations within a predetermined range of the calculated routes based on their locations, estimates second fuel amounts for reaching the fuel stations based on their locations, the fuel economy and the current vehicle position, obtains fuel prices of the fuel stations from a network, and instructs a screen to display the fuel prices, the point information, the locations of the fuel stations, the fuel tank capacity and the current fuel level along with a segment.

Abstract: A clock information correction unit 15 is provided to correct the broadcast start/end times of an electronic program guide (EPG) generated in reference to the standard time. To perform this correction, the clock information correction unit 15 uses the standard time, which is the Greenwich Mean Time received by a standard time reception unit 11 of a broadcast reception device 100, and the clock time counted by an internal clock 21 of a head unit 200. The aforementioned correction is made based not on the time difference between time zones, but on the clock time of the internal clock 21. Thereby, without time zone setting based on GPS positional information or selection by a user operation, the broadcast start/end times of the EPG can be adjusted to correspond to the time of the internal clock.

Abstract: On-board display control methods and systems are provided. In one implementation for displaying speedometer information and miscellaneous information on an instrument panel display, a nonuse region determination unit of an on-board display control device determines a nonuse speed region in a speedometer in accordance with a traveling status of a vehicle. A display control unit of the on-board display control device then exercises control such that an enlarged view of the miscellaneous information is displayed over the nonuse speed region when the nonuse region determination unit determines that there is the nonuse speech region.

Abstract: A current location measured by a GPS receiver is defined as a base location. Individual points fairly near to the base location that are located on roads whose distances from the base location fall within a predetermined distance are set as candidate points. A distance between the base location and a candidate point to be evaluated is calculated. In a case where the distance is larger than a threshold value statistically estimated from a history of calculated distances between the base location and previously set candidate points that draw a trajectory on a road leading to the candidate point to be evaluated, the threshold value defining a rough upper limit of a distribution range of distances between the base location and the candidate points, it is judged that a true current location is not located on the road in which the candidate point is located.
