[Prior art]

 In recent years, there is a method of displaying the way from the current point to the point of destination through an LCD TV installed on the vehicle, which is called a navigation system, in order to confirm the way from the current point to the point of destination while riding in a car. According to this, it is convenient for the driver because it is possible to display the map near the destination point from the map near the current point with one button. There is also a method in which the position of your own car is confirmed using an artificial satellite, and your current position and the route to your destination are automatically displayed on the TV screen.

However, in the above method, it is inconvenient for a person who is unfamiliar with the operation of the machine to set the current point and the destination point, and since such a system is expensive, the map based on the book is still available. It is currently used.

Therefore, when using such a map, the page at the current position or the page of the ground map at the destination is left open, or if the page is different, the page is folded and the necessary page is displayed. If you are driving near the starting point, open the fold page, and if you are driving near the destination, open the next fold page and check the way to the destination. Was.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a map marker of the present invention. In the present invention, a thin short fence-shaped map marker main body 1 having a length of 25 cm and a width of 6 cm, for example, made of paper, resin, metal or the like is provided with “ Form a printing or writing display portion 1a of characters such as “destination”, “departure point”, or “current location”, and use a removable adhesive paste or double-sided tape on the map marker body 1 to make a thin plate.

Like

In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a portion U adjacent to the display portion 1a of the map marker body 1 can be sandwiched at the edge of the page of the book U. A thin plate-like page pinching portion 4 formed by cutting a notch or having one end fixed thereto is provided.

According to this embodiment, if the page sandwiching portion 4 of the map marker body 1 is sandwiched in the upper part of the page showing the destination, etc., it will not slip or fall off.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the other end 1b of the map marker body 1 is formed in an arrow shape without using the arrow member 2, and the other end of the arrow shape is formed. Part 1b can be attached and detached on the map with a removable adhesive or double-sided tape.

According to this embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the arrow-shaped other end portion 1b can be attached to a destination or the like and attached on a map.

The map marker body 1 and the arrow member 2 may be made of a transparent material so that the map below can be confirmed through them, and characters can be erased on the display portion 1 a. Alternatively, the letters can be made fluorescent to enhance their visibility.

Further, if the arrow member 2 is formed of a plastic thin piece or the like, the plastic thin piece fits to the surface of the map marker main body 1 and the adhesive force allows the pieces to be adhered to each other without using glue or the like.
