A mobile phone 15 connectable to the receiving device 2, a transmitting device 3 for wirelessly transmitting information to the receiving device 2, and an input device 5 for inputting traffic information or the like to the transmitting device 3 via a telephone line 4 or the like.

Data of the format shown in FIG. 2, for example, is input to the transmitter 3 from the input device 5 as character information. This data is composed of a header 8 for designating the source and characteristics of the information, and a body 9 of the information. When the position of the facility relating to the information of the text is displayed, the header 8 is provided with a facility code 30 for specifying the position of the facility and controlling the display. As the facility code 30, a telephone number of the facility or a code corresponding thereto is adopted.

At the left end of the facility code 30, the receiving device 2 operates the mobile phone 12 based on the code 30.
An automatic dial code (“T”) indicating that it is possible to make an automatic dial call from is added. If the above automatic dial is not possible, code "C"
Is added. Further, 32 is a predetermined symbol mark indicating whether or not the telephone with the facility described in the information is connected while the character information is being displayed on the receiving device 2, and this display blinks during the connection. It is configured.

The receiving device 2 is provided with a display device 6 for displaying the received character information and facility position information (map information). The display page, display position, and display of the character information on the display device 6 are provided. The time and the display ratio of the character information and the map information can be arbitrarily changed.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the receiving device 2a receives the character information and displays it on the display 6a.
And the receiving device 2b that receives the map information and displays it on the display 6b may be configured separately.

The receiving devices 2, 2a, and 2b are also provided.
Is provided with an operation function key 11, a direction key (cursor key) 12 for moving a cursor, etc., and an operation confirmation key 13, and the receiving devices 2, 2a are carried via a cable 14.
