Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the installation of a map so that a current location or a destination can be easily and intuitively grasped.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A map of a nearby area such as a station, a road, a shopping street map, a sightseeing guide map, an evacuation site map in the event of a disaster, and a destination signpost are in the form of a bulletin board set up vertically.

[0003]

[0005] This has the following inconveniences. (A) When searching for a place that one wants to visit, a vertical bulletin board format map is useful for grasping the actual geography. The vertical must be replaced horizontally in the head, and the direction is hard to grasp intuitively. (B) Because the direction is difficult to understand, the positional relationship between the current location and the destination is more difficult to understand. (C) Many road signpost bulletin boards have a scale corresponding to the scale of the distance traveled by a car, and are difficult to use for pedestrians searching for a range of tens to hundreds of meters as a destination.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems A map in which the direction is adjusted to the actual geography and the scale is adjusted to the walking distance of the pedestrian,
It will be installed on pedestrian traffic points such as the exit of the station and the intersection sidewalk.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. (B) At the exit of a subway station or JR station, the map body (1) is installed on the road surface in the same direction as the actual geography. (B) A map body (1) that displays a range of about several tens to several hundred meters on an intersection or a sidewalk of a main street is installed on the sidewalk in accordance with the actual geography and direction.

[0006]

This has the following effects. (B) A map placed on a road surface that is in the same direction as the actual geography makes it easy to intuitively understand the geography. (B) Since the geography is easy to understand, the positional relationship between the current location and the destination can be easily grasped, and the destination can be easily searched. (C) Since the scale is set to a range of several tens to several hundreds of meters, it is easy for pedestrians to find a destination.
