Abstract
The present invention is directed to provide a data selecting apparatus and a navigation apparatus capable of easily and promptly selecting one piece of data from a plurality of pieces of data. A navigation apparatus 100 has: a display controller 111 for obtaining name data and genre information of each point data from a map data storing unit 105, generating display data for displaying names of the point data, which are arranged by the genre information at the same hierarchical level on the basis of the obtained name data and genre information, and performing the display control on the generated display data, and an operating unit 106 used for selecting a genre to which point data to be selected by the user belongs and selecting a name of one piece of the point data from the selected genre. The display controller 111 performs generation of display data for displaying the genre selected by the operating unit 106 and display control on the display data or performs generation of display data at the time when the name of point data is selected by the operating unit 106 and display control on the display data interlockingly with selecting operation executed by using the operating unit 106.
