First Claim
1. A navigation apparatus comprising:
- a route search unit that obtains a route to take from a start point to a destination;
a vehicle position detection unit that detects a vehicle position; and
a route guidance unit that provides route guidance based upon the obtained route, wherein;
the route guidance unit displays the route within a predetermined range from the vehicle position as a straight bar together with the vehicle position, displays an intersection indicator on the straight bar in correspondence to an intersection present within the predetermined range on the route and varies display mode when displaying the intersection indicator depending upon whether the intersection is a guidance-requiring intersection at which the route guidance is provided or a non-guidance intersection at which the route guidance is not provided.
