1. A map information display apparatus that displays a map for a mobile object, said map information display apparatus comprising: a display unit configured to display an image that includes the map and an estimated transit time of a point on the map; a candidate obtainment unit configured to obtain a plurality of candidate points each of which is a candidate for displaying an estimated transit time; a selection unit configured to: set a plurality of representative points in a map area displayed by said display unit so that (i) a distance between two adjacent representative points of the plurality of representative points which are in a travel direction of the mobile object is shorter than a distance between two adjacent representative points of the plurality of representative points which are in a direction other than the travel direction of the mobile object, and (ii) a distance between any two representative points of the plurality of representative points is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance; and select, for each of the plurality of representative points that are set, a candidate point closest to the each of the plurality of representative points; an estimated time calculation unit configured to calculate an estimated transit time of each of the selected candidate points; and a display control unit configured to cause said display unit to display the image that includes the map, and the each of the selected candidate points and the estimated transit time which is calculated in association with the each of the selected candidate points.
