Abstract

In a navigator for use on a road vahicle, a memory is responsive to an external switch operation to preliminarily store any specific point on a map and a controller is responsive to the generation of a move command to move a cursor indicative of the present position of the vehicle to the specific point stored in the memory. In this way, by preliminarily entering any specific point into the memory, it is possible to easily set the position of the vehicle to the stored specific point.
