Navigation apparatus and navigation method

摘要

A navigation apparatus includes: a current-position information acquisition section obtaining measured current-position information; a camera section obtaining a captured image of a subject; a direction detection section detecting a direction when obtaining the captured image by the camera section; from characteristic-point information related to multiple predetermined characteristic points stored in a storage section, a characteristic-point information extraction section extracting the characteristic-point information related to the characteristic points located in the vicinity of the current position and in a range shown in the direction; and a control section displaying the captured image on a display section, wherein the control section displays a predetermined direction line indicating a distance from the current position on the captured image, obtains a distance and a direction from the current position to the characteristic point, and displays the characteristic-point information at a position corresponding to the distance and the direction on the captured image.

1. A navigation apparatus comprising:
a current-position information acquisition section obtaining current-position information of a current position measured by a current-position measuring section; a camera section obtaining a captured image of a subject; a direction detection section detecting a direction at the time of obtaining the captured image by the camera section; from characteristic-point information related to predetermined characteristic points stored in a predetermined storage section, a characteristic-point information extraction section extracting the characteristic-point information related to the characteristic points located in the vicinity of the current position and in a range shown in the direction; and a control section configured to display the captured image on a predetermined display section, wherein the control section is configured to display (i) a predetermined direction line corresponding to a predetermined set standard range of distance and extending from the current position on the captured image, in which the predetermined direction line is at an angle indicating a direction as viewed from the current position on the captured image, and (ii) at an end of the predetermined direction line remote from the current position, distance information corresponding to the predetermined set standard range of distance from the current position, in which the distance information is displayed with unit of length indicia.
