1. An information processing apparatus that composites and displays a map image at a designated scale and an object associated with the map image at the designated scale, comprising: a processor; a first memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the steps of: receiving data representing the object with the processor; storing, by the processor, an object record including the data representing the object, an object identifier, a scale associated with the object and object position information regarding a position at which the data representing the object is displayed on the map image in a second memory; receiving, by the processor, an image, extracting, by the processor, location information from the image, determining a position information record including position information corresponding to the location information, and updating an input state of the position information record; determining, by the processor, that the updated input state satisfies a predetermined condition, and based on this determination, retrieving the object record held in the second memory based on the position information of the position information record and the object position information of the object record; associating, by the processor, the retrieved object record with a map image at a scale that has a smaller scale ratio and shows a larger area than a map image at the scale associated with the object, wherein the associating comprises: locating a display scale data record corresponding to the object using the object identifier of the retrieved object record; updating a display scale level in the display scale data record to a scale that has the smaller scale ratio and shows the larger area than the scale associated with the object; and displaying, by a display, a map image at the updated scale; determining, by the processor, after displaying the map image, that the object record corresponds to the updated scale using the updated display scale of the display scale data record; displaying, by the display, the data representing the object from the object record along with the map image.
