First Claim
1. A navigation system navigating a moving body based on position information, the navigation system comprising a navigation device including:
- a global positioning system (GPS) configured to detect the position information of the navigation device;
a communication device configured to communicate with at least one second navigation device; and
a processor operatively coupled with the GPS and the communication device, the processor being programmed to;
detect, by the GPS, the position information of the navigation device;
initiate a coordinated operation with the at least one second navigation device based on the detected position information compared to a position of the second navigation device, or based on a predetermined association with the at least one second navigation device;
determine whether the at least one second navigation device is currently performing navigation by communicating with the at least one second navigation device via the communication device;
in response to determining that the at least one second navigation device is not currently performing navigation, perform navigation via the GPS based on the detected position information and a designated position; and
in response to determining that the at least one second navigation device is currently performing navigation, perform a second operation of a function that is not displayed on a display screen of the at least one second navigation device, the second operation being based on the position information and information related to navigation, and cause the at least one second navigation device performing navigation to display a position acquired as a result of the second operation.

Abstract
A navigation device navigating a moving body based on position information includes a coordinated operation unit that initiates and ends a coordinated operation among a plurality of navigation devices; a guiding unit that performs navigation in at least one of the navigation devices performing the coordinated operation, while providing a screen display based on a designated position; and a second operating unit that performs a second operation in a navigation device other than a currently navigating navigation device performing the coordinated operation, the second operation including receiving an operation for a function that is not displayed on the screen of the currently navigating navigation device, and reflecting a position acquired as a result of the operation, to the other navigation devices performing the coordinated operation.
