Abstract

A system for transmitting map data between a parent station and a child station. The child station extracts figure data from an optical disk, specifies the retrieval range and transmits it as data for extraction to the parent station. Upon receipt, the parent station extracts the figure data including the retrieval range from the database. Then the date and/or time of update of the figure data and also of the data for extraction are checked. When the date and/or time of the update of the data for extraction is earlier, the figure data is transmitted to the child station.
