The tuning-information storage unit stores the one or more map images and one or more frequency information segments received from one or more broadcast stations such that each of the one or more map images is linked to respective one of the one or more frequency information segments. Each of the one or more frequency information segments indicates a frequency of respective one of the one or more broadcast stations. The tuning screen generator generates a tuning screen displaying thereon the one or more broadcast stations with the one or more frequency information segments stored in the tuning-information storage unit and with the one or more map images linked to the one or more frequency information segments. The display unit displays the tuning screen. The tuning unit tunes a broadcast station out of the one or more broadcast stations received by the receiver from the tuning screen displayed on the display unit. This receiving device does not include map data; however, allows a user to tune the broadcast station based on the map image by utilizing received data of a data broadcast.
