Abstract
The invention provides a navigation apparatus and a navigation server capable of providing information to the user enabling comparison between a route that the user is actually traveling and a different route. According to a car navigation apparatus 200, a route setup unit 230 sets up plural routes. An actual route recognition unit 231 recognizes an “actual route” of the vehicle M. Further, a virtual route recognition unit 232 recognizes a “virtual route” that differs from the actual route. Moreover, a virtual travel information recognition unit 240 recognizes a “virtual travel information” containing a virtual position of the vehicle M on the virtual route. The actual travel information, the actual route, the virtual travel information and the virtual route are displayed on a liquid crystal panel 250.
