Abstract
A navigation apparatus is connected through a LAN to a master ECU which outputs a vehicle ID signal including type information showing a type of a vehicle, and obtains the type information from the master ECU. The navigation apparatus stores a map describing specifications such as functions assigned to the steering switches which are sorted by the vehicle type, and sets an operating condition according to the specification corresponding to the obtained type information. For this reason, the navigation apparatus does not need modifying in mounting on the vehicles of plural types.
