A map evaluation system is equipped with a car navigation device and a map evaluation
device. The car navigation system generates difference data indicating a location
where a difference is present between a vehicle position path and a road location
obtained from a map database. The car navigation device then sends the difference
data along with additional data relating to accuracy of the difference data. The
map evaluation device determines accuracy for the difference data based on the
additional data. When the accuracy degree of the difference data is determined
to be proper, the map evaluation device increments by one a determining count of
a group including the difference data. When the determining count exceeds a given
count, a portion to be amended on the map database is displayed on a monitor based
on the difference data stored in a difference database.
