摘要

PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for providing route guide voice data are provided to reduce manufacturing costs by removing a recording medium of a large capacity or a TTS module. CONSTITUTION: A route searching unit searches a route from a source to a destination based on source information and destination information. An extracting unit(103) extracts text information including a character string to guide a driving process and location information. A voice converting unit(104) converts the extracted text information to voice data and tags the location information in the voice data. A voice data selecting unit(105) selects the voice data including the location information from a current location to the destination. A providing unit(106) provides the selected voice data to a route guide terminal.
