Navigation system for vehicle

Abstract

To provide a navigation system for a vehicle in which guidance information necessary for the driver can be provided while using a small display space. A guidance pattern indicating the direction toward a WP is formed of an arrow pattern including a center point segment with a rhombic segment as a tip. When the vehicle approaches a crossing and the turning direction at the crossing is to the right, the display pattern is changed over to an elongate rhombic segment extending rightwards from the center point segment, thereby indicating that the turning direction is to the right. Alternatively, the rhombic segment indicating the turning direction is displayed in addition to the guidance pattern for the direction toward the WP, whereby the direction toward the WP and the turning direction are displayed in combination so that they can be differentiated from each other.
