Communication navigation system, communication navigation method, route guidance information transmitting device, and terminal unit
First Claim
1. A communication navigation system that performs navigation, using map data stored in a map database site and current position data about navigation terminals, by transmitting the map data to the navigation terminals via a communication network, the communication navigation system comprising:
- a route guidance information transmitting device which transmits route guidance information to each of the navigation terminals via the communication network; and
an information specifying device, provided at each of the navigation terminals, which transmits specification data for specifying a type of necessary route guidance information, to the route guidance information transmitting device via the communication network, wherein the route guidance information transmitting device transmits only the route guidance information of the type specified by the specification data, to each of the navigation terminals.
