An information providing apparatus allowing appropriate confirmation of contents of information which assists travel of a mobile object, presented by an image display section, even when the image display section providing information which assists travel of the mobile object as an image display is placed under a condition producing vibration not smaller than a predetermined level. The equipment has an image display section (22) mounted in a vehicle and allowing image display of information which assists travel of the vehicle, a vibration sensor (44) detecting vibration not smaller than a predetermined level produced on the image display section (22) and sending a detection output signal, and an operation control section (30) modifying a display mode of information presented as an image display by the image display section (22), into the one having contents of the information are more readily recognizable, when the detection output signal from the vibration sensor (44) expresses that the image display section (22) is in a vibration-sustained state in which vibration not smaller than a predetermined level is sustained over a duration of time not shorter than a predetermined duration.
