Abstract
A method for providing route guidance to a destination to which a vehicle is driven. When the vehicle enters a specific area, information about roads, points of interest, facilities, and other significant locations in driving directions from current location is displayed through a route guidance screen. A function for providing main direction guidance information displayed on a screen configured with road signs is implemented. When a driver selects one direction in a state in which guidance information about the driving directions is displayed, a navigation apparatus performs route guidance in the selected direction. If the vehicle reaches a corresponding position in the selected direction, the navigation apparatus senses a newly selected direction to continuously perform the route guidance. Accordingly, the driver can receive a fast route guidance service by selecting a direction of a destination through simple key manipulation without directly inputting a exact destination.
