Claim One:
1. A user portable terminal for retrieving tourist information based on a current location of a user and providing such to the user, comprising: a camera for capturing an image of a target object; a measuring sensor for measuring the current location of the user on a map as a user's current location; an azimuth angle sensor for measuring an azimuth angle of a user's current line of sight on the map as a user's current azimuth angle; a memory capable of storing a plurality of tourist information and a plurality of reference areas allocated to a plurality of target objects on the map which are correlated with each other, wherein from the plurality of tourist information, tourist information which is correlated to each of the plurality of reference areas includes a plurality of azimuth angle specific tourist information correlated to a plurality of azimuth angles; and a retrieving unit adapted for retrieving in the memory using the user's current location which is measured by the measuring sensor as a search key, and then extracting, from the plurality of reference areas, a reference area where the user's current location is found, then extracting, from the plurality of azimuth angle specific tourist information which are correlated with the reference area which is extracted, an azimuth angle specific tourist information corresponding to the user's current azimuth angle, and finally providing the azimuth angle specific tourist information which is extracted to the user.
