The display controller is capable of switching between displaying an image in a normal mode, in which the display positions of the images I, I move closer in a lateral direction to a lateral reference line L as the travel direction distance increases, and move farther away in a screen vertical direction from a screen bottom line L as the travel direction distance increases, and displaying the image in a magnification mode, in which a vertical scale, which is the ratio of the distance between the line L and the display positions in the screen vertical direction to the orientation direction distance, is larger than in the normal display mode.
