         10 . The in-vehicle device according to  claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to extract, from images acquired by the imaging device, the image at a time when the location of the in-vehicle device and the second location coincide with each other or the image at a time when the location of the in-vehicle device is located near the second location. 
     
     
         11 . The in-vehicle device according to  claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, when the distance between the location of the in-vehicle device and the second location becomes shorter than or equal to a second predetermined distance longer than the first predetermined distance, display the second location and a name of the second user on map data.
