<p>Provided is a turn-by-turn on-vehicle navigation system capable of providing drivers with any helpful and appropriate information to free them from their various anxieties caused as a result of relatively less information on a display. When the vehicle's current position is located on a recommended route after completion of a certain guidance (S203, S205), the driver is determined as properly driving the vehicle as expected, and receives a message telling that he/she is on the right track (S206). With such a message, the driver does not feel an anxiety often occurring at making a turn at the intersection. Further, when the vehicle passes by a predetermined landmark located in a close range, any supplemental information is provided for the location (S210). Such information removes the driver's uneasiness when he/she keeps going straight along the same road for a long time. Still further, at the destination, information about the area is provided (S211). Thereby, the driver can feel secure even he/she is new to the area.
