Navigation apparatus for a vehicle

摘要

In a navigation apparatus for a vehicle, entire route from a start point to a destination is determined and the vehicle is guided to the destination in accordance with the determined route. In the navigation apparatus, an entire route from a start point to a destination is first determined (S3). Route determination is performed for a part of the entire route in accordance with a request of a user (S15), and the entire route to the destination is determined again based on the result of the determination performed for the part of the entire route. The navigation apparatus has a first remaining-distance displaying unit (S31) and a second remaining-distance displaying unit (S28). The first remaining-distance display unit (S31) displays the arrow indicating the route and the remaining distance to an intersection. The second remaining-distance display unit (S28) deletes the display of the distance provided by the first remaining-distance display unit (S31) and changes the length of the arrow, which indicates the route, as the vehicle advances. <IMAGE>
