However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the user terminal 200 can be positioned in various other ways not illustrated.

Subsequently, in step S330, the user terminal 200 displays on the map the location of the first location searched by the user. The user can search the location of the first location by inputting at least a part of the name or address of the location of the first location in the search window on the screen of the user terminal 200. [ The user terminal 200 may display a location list adjacent to the search window in association with the search term entered by the user. The user can select the position of any one of the plurality of positions included in the position list to search for the position of the first position.

Subsequently, in step S340, the user terminal 200 displays on the map the location of the first location that the user searched for and the location of the second location that is different from the location of the first location that the user searched. The method for the user to retrieve the location of the second location is substantially the same as the method for retrieving the location of the first location.

Then, in step S350, when the user inputs a screen switching command (e.g., by clicking a button or touching a certain area of the touch screen), the user terminal 200 switches from the map screen mode to the surrounding- And displays an image obtained by the image sensor on the screen. The user terminal 200 can acquire a peripheral image of the user terminal 200 using the image sensor and display the peripheral image on the screen.

Subsequently, in step S360, the user terminal 200 calculates the distance between the position of the first place and the position of the second place from the position of the first place, the position of the second place, and the current position of the user terminal 200 And displays it on the image. The distance of the position of each place can be displayed on the image adjacent to the position of each place.

Meanwhile, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a method of providing a route service according to an embodiment of the present invention may be modified such that some steps are performed in reverse order or some steps are performed simultaneously. Or some steps may be omitted.

The text, graphic, icon, image, etc. for displaying the position may be variously modified according to the embodiment.

Although FIG. 4 shows, as an example, the current location 10 of the user terminal 200 on the map and the location 20 of the three locations searched by the user together, the present invention is not limited thereto, May display on the map the current location 10 of the user terminal 200 and the location 20 of two or more locations searched by the user.

Accordingly, even when there are a plurality of search locations, the user can compare and check the positions and directions of the respective search locations within one map screen.

5 shows an image obtained by the image sensor on the screen of the user terminal 200 and displays a plurality of locations 20 from the current position of the user terminal 200 The distance (390 m, 1.5 km) of the position of the center point

The text, the graphic form, the icon, the image, and the like for displaying the position and the distance of the position may be variously modified according to the embodiment. For comparison of the relative distance, a figure, an icon, or the like indicating the location 20 of the place may be displayed as the closer to the current position of the user (the first position (Location # 1) # 2)).

5, only the position of any one of the plurality of locations 20 may be displayed on the image, depending on the photographing direction and viewing angle limit of the image sensor of the user terminal 200. [

Accordingly, the user can intuitively compare and confirm the distance and direction of each search place within the user's surrounding image screen

Although not explicitly shown, the user can select a location of a specific location from among the locations of one or more locations displayed on the map, and delete the location of the selected specific location. Selection and deletion of the location of a specific place are possible regardless of the search order of the user. In addition, the user terminal 200 may store the location of the specific location among the locations of the one or more locations searched according to the user's command. The user terminal 200 can generate a location list including locations of a plurality of places stored by the user and retrieve a location of a specific one of locations of a plurality of places included in the location list according to a user's command. The location of the specific location that is loaded can be displayed on a map or image.

Also, the user terminal 200 can receive event location information from the application server 100 and display the event location on a map or image. The distance range of the event location may be limited to within a certain distance (e.g., several kilometers) from the current position of the user terminal 200. [ This distance range can be modified according to the setting of the user.
