1. An apparatus for switching a navigation mode between a vehicle navigation mode and a pedestrian navigation mode, the apparatus comprising:
- a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver configured to receive a GPS signal; and
a controller configured to;
calculate a speed of the apparatus by using the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver,compare the calculated speed of the apparatus with a threshold speed,determine the navigation mode of the apparatus as the pedestrian navigation mode, in response to the calculated speed of the apparatus being lower than the threshold speed, anddetermine the navigation mode of the apparatus as the vehicle navigation mode, in response to the calculated speed of the apparatus being greater than or equal to the threshold speed.

Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for switching a navigation mode between a vehicle navigation mode and a pedestrian navigation mode. The apparatus includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver configured to receive a GPS signal; and a controller configured to calculate a speed of the apparatus by using the GPS signal received by the GPS receiver, compare the calculated speed of the apparatus with a threshold speed, and determine the navigation mode of the apparatus between the vehicle navigation mode and the pedestrian navigation mode based on the comparison.
