Abstract

A mobile terminal and an operating method thereof are provided. The mobile terminal includes a camera module; a display module configured to display a preview image provided by the camera module; a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with an external device; and a controller configured to obtain location information of the mobile terminal through wireless communication with the external device and obtain object information of a first object displayed in the preview image based on the location information, wherein, if there exists object information of a second object that is overlapped by the first object, the controller displays an notification indicator indicating the existence of the object information of the second object on the display module. Therefore, it is possible to provide information of a wider area than that displayed in a preview image.
