If the detailed information of each route is configured to be displayed as a home page on a mobile phone, the user can view the road information at an arbitrary place using the mobile phone. In addition, since the detailed information of each line that can be displayed on the homepage of the computer can be displayed on the mobile phone as the homepage,
The information consistency between the computer and the mobile phone can be maintained.

Further, if the road information further includes road information that can be output to a facsimile, the user can obtain the road information not only with a computer or a mobile phone but also with a facsimile. The method can be rich in variety and convenience can be enhanced.

Further, the server system transmits an input screen for inputting basic information to the client terminal in a displayable form, and stores and transmits the basic information input and transmitted from the client terminal using the input screen. If the road information is generated based on the basic information and transmitted to the user terminal, the client can easily perform the input operation without being aware of the data format when inputting the basic information.
