To facilitate switching of a display image without using map data by linking each image data using the positional information in the image data.
The image processing device comprises: a positional information extracting means 2 to extract positional information out of image data; a positional information storing means 3 to store the extracted positional information; a positional information comparing means 4 to compare the stored multiple pieces of positional information; a comparison reference setting means 5 to set comparison reference of the positional information to the positional information comparing means 4; an image reproducing means 6 to reproduce the image data and outputs the reproduced data to a monitor; and a reproduction control means to control the image reproduced by the image reproducing means 6 in accordance with the result of comparison by the positional information comparing means 4. By correlating a plurality of image data based on positional information such as the name of the place, the reproduction data meeting the conditions of the comparison reference such as the distance, bearing, and direction from the location is outputted.
