Method and apparatus for variable speed route simulation operation for navigation system
First Claim
1. A method of conducting a route simulation operation on a screen of a navigation system, comprising the following steps of:
- calculating a route from a starting point to a destination;
determining a first route simulation speed for a first part of the calculated route having a preset number of first turns from the starting point;
determining a second route simulation speed for a second part of the calculated route having a preset number of last turns before the destination;
determining a third route simulation speed for a remaining part of the calculated route, the third route simulation speed being higher than the first or second route simulation speed; and
displaying a progression indicator on the calculated route to the destination on a map image on the screen of the navigation system and moving the progression indicator based on the simulation speeds determined in the above steps.

Abstract
A method for route simulation operation on a navigation system is able to complete the route simulation operation within a short period of time. The method includes the steps of: calculating a route from a starting point to a destination; determining a first route simulation speed for a preset number of first turns from the starting point; determining a second route simulation speed for a preset number of last turns before the destination; determining a third route simulation speed for a remaining part of the calculated route; and displaying a progression indicator on the calculated route to the destination on a map image on the screen of the navigation system and moving the progression indicator based on the simulation speeds determined in the above steps.
