Claim Text:
1. A course creation support apparatus comprising: a transmitter configured to transmit, via a network, map information of a map to a terminal; a receiver configured to receive, via the network, landmark information indicative of a landmark on the map from the terminal; and a processor configured to create a circuit course that defines a path which is traversable by a user in a looping manner based on the received landmark information so that the circuit course does not include the landmark thereon and the landmark is positioned inside the circuit course, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the circuit course to the terminal via the network; the receiver is configured to receive, via the network, correction information for correcting the created circuit course from the terminal; the processor is configured to create a corrected circuit course by correcting the circuit course based on the received correction information; and the transmitter is configured to transmit the corrected circuit course to the terminal via the network.
