Claim Text:
1. A display information generating apparatus that generates display information to be shown in a display means, the display means moving together with a movable body, the display information generating apparatus comprising: a position information acquiring means that acquires position information indicating a position of the movable body; a distance information acquiring means that acquires distance information indicating distances between the position of the movable body and respective terrestrial objects, on the basis of the acquired position information, the terrestrial objects being positioned along a moving path on which the movable body is movable; and a generating means that generates the display information on the basis of the acquired position information and the acquired distance information, the display information being used for showing terrestrial object indices in the display means along a path mark indicating the moving path, the terrestrial object indices indicating the terrestrial objects on both sides of the moving path, the terrestrial object indices being arranged in the order in which the terrestrial object indices appear along with the movement of the movable body, wherein the generating means generates the display information being used for showing the path mark in the display means to express the moving path extending in the depth direction of the display means, in a case where the terrestrial objects exist on the left side of the moving path, the generating means generates the display information being used for showing the terrestrial object indices indicating the terrestrial objects existing on the left side of the moving path on only the left side of the path mark, and in a case where the terrestrial objects exist on the right side of the moving path, the generating means generates the display information being used for showing the terrestrial object indices indicating the terrestrial objects existing on the right side of the moving path on only the right side of the path mark.
