Abstract
An navigation apparatus records a deviation point as a new search point for activating a rerouting function during a route guidance process. When the deviation point exists along or near a set route, it is predicted that a vehicle will travel away from the set route at the deviation point. When a current location is within a predetermined distance from the deviation point, the rerouting function is activated to automatically search for a new route starting from the deviation point.
Claims14
A navigation apparatus comprising:
- a start point input part for inputting a start point;
- a destination point input part for inputting a destination point;
- a route setting part for setting a route from the start point to the destination point based on input data and various other data including map data;
- and
- a display part for displaying the route,
- wherein the navigation apparatus provides a route guidance from the start point to the destination point, the navigation apparatus has a rerouting function for performing a search again during the route guidance,
- wherein the navigation apparatus further comprises a deviation point recording part for recording a deviation point as a search point for activating the rerouting function, and
- wherein the rerouting function is activated when a current location is within a predetermined distance from the deviation point.
A navigation apparatus comprising:
- a start point input part for inputting a start point;
- a destination point input part for inputting a destination point;
- a route setting part for setting a route from the start point to the destination point based on input data and various other data including map data;
- and
- a display part for displaying the route,
- wherein the navigation apparatus provides a route guidance from the start point to the destination point, the navigation apparatus has a rerouting function for performing a search again during the route guidance,
- wherein the navigation apparatus further comprises a route segment recording part for recording a route segment set in advance, and
- wherein the rerouting function is activated when a current location is within a predetermined distance from the route segment.
A rerouting method for a navigation apparatus including a rerouting function for searching for a new route during a route guidance along a set route, comprising:
- recording a deviation point as a search point for the activation of the rerouting function;
- and
- automatically searching for a new route when a current location is within a predetermined distance from the deviation point.
A rerouting method for a navigation apparatus including a rerouting function for searching for a new route during a route guidance along a set route, comprising:
- recording a route segment set in advance;
- and
- automatically searching for a new route when a current location is within a predetermined distance from the route segment while adding the route segment as a search condition.
