Abstract:
1. A portable communication terminal capable of detecting a position of the portable communication terminal by using a Global Positioning System, the portable communication terminal comprising: an input unit which inputs first data for specifying a specific individual and second data for specifying an another portable communication terminal owned by the specific individual in correspondence with icon data; a storage unit which stores the inputted first and second data and positional information of the another portable communication terminal owned by the specific individual in correspondence with the icon data; an azimuth measuring unit for measuring an azimuth of the specific individual; a display; a controller which accesses, via a base station, the another portable communication terminal corresponding to the icon data, downloads the positional information of the another portable communication terminal corresponding to the icon data, automatically updates the positional information of the another portable communication terminal corresponding to the icon data which is stored in the storage unit, and displays an icon based on the icon data so as to be superposed on a map displayed on the display; wherein the map displayed on the display is provided based on map information downloaded through the base station according to the downloaded positional information of the another communication terminal; and wherein an inclination angle of the icon character on the map is controlled based on the measured azimuth.
