and indicating a position corresponding to the additional information on a navigation map. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein indicating the position includes displaying the additional information on the position corresponding to the additional information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising displaying a User Interface (UI) including information for a distance between a current position of the user terminal and the position corresponding to the additional information based on a user command. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the condition is satisfied when a distance between the current position of the user terminal and the position corresponding to the additional information is within a distance range. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: receiving a selection command for the position corresponding to the additional information indicated on the navigation map; and displaying a navigation screen guiding a route to the position corresponding to the additional information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the additional information further includes time information related to the additional information, and the receiving additional information includes searching additional information in which the time information is within a time range based on a current time. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the additional information includes position information collected from at least one of a Social Network Service (SNS) and a specific web site by the user terminal. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein receiving additional information includes receiving additional information including position information pre-stored in the user terminal and provided by a user among the position information collected from the SNS. ### Claim 9 A method of providing information of a user terminal which is interlocked with a navigation terminal, the method comprising: searching a current position of the user terminal; searching additional information satisfying a condition based on information for the current position; and transmitting the searched additional information to the navigation terminal. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the condition is satisfied when a distance between the current position of the user terminal and the position corresponding to the additional information is within a distance range. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the additional information further includes time information related to the additional information, and wherein the searching additional information includes searching additional information in which the time information is within a time range on the basis of a current time. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the additional information includes position information collected from at least one of a Social Network Service (SNS) and a specific web site by the user terminal, and the searching additional information includes searching additional information including position information pre-stored in the user terminal and provided by a user among the position information collected from the SNS. ### Claim 13 A navigation system which is interlocked with a user terminal, the navigation system comprising: a storage unit that stores navigation map information; a searching unit that searches a position of the navigation apparatus; a communication interface unit that is connected to the user terminal and receives additional information satisfying a condition based on a current position of the user terminal; a control unit that indicates a position corresponding to the additional information on a navigation map; and a display unit that displays the navigation map. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The navigation system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the control unit configures the navigation map such that the additional information is displayed on the position corresponding to the additional information. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The navigation system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the control unit controls the display unit to display a User Interface (UI) including information indicating a distance between the current position of the user terminal and the position corresponding to the additional information based on a user command. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The navigation system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the condition is satisfied when the distance between the current position of the user terminal and the position corresponding to the additional information is within a distance range. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The navigation system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the control unit controls the display unit to display a navigation screen configured to guide a route to the position corresponding to the additional information when a selection command for the position corresponding to the additional information indicated on the navigation map. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The navigation system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the additional information further includes time information related to the additional information, and the communication interface unit receives additional information in which the time information is within a time range based on a current time. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The navigation system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the additional information includes position information collected from at least one of a Social Network Service (SNS) and a specific web site by the user terminal. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The navigation system as claimed in claim 19, wherein the communication interface unit receives additional information including position information pre-stored in the user terminal and provided by a user among the position information collected from the SNS. ### Claim 21 A user terminal which is interlocked with a navigation system, the user terminal comprising: a searching unit that searches a position of the user terminal; a control unit that searches additional information satisfying a condition based on the position of the user terminal; and a communication interface unit that transmits the searched additional information to the navigation system. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The user terminal as claimed in claim 21, wherein the condition is satisfied when a distance between the current position of the user terminal and the position corresponding to the additional information is within a distance range. ### Claim 23 (depends on 21) The user terminal as claimed in claim 21, wherein the additional information further includes time information related to the additional information, and the control unit searches additional information in which the time information is within a time range on the basis of a current time. ### Claim 24 (depends on 21) The user terminal as claimed in claim 21, wherein the additional information includes position information collected from at least one of a Social Network Service (SNS) and a specific web site by the user terminal, and the control unit searches additional information including position information pre-stored in the user terminal and provided by a user among the position information collected from the SNS.
