摘要

A navigation apparatus and a method for providing information of POI(position of interest) are provided to allow a user to recognize the direction and distance of POI easily by displaying POI information on a back ground image. In a navigation apparatus and a method for providing information of POI, a GPS receiving module(10) receives a GPS(Global positioning System) signal and calculates the position. A controller(20) receives the position information from the GPS receiving module and outputs it with the map information. The controller controls the operation of the GPS receiving module, and a storage(30) stores the map information in which the POI information is included. The controller searches POI information of the selected category and display is as a mark when a POI mode is selected.
