Abstract
A navigation method and apparatus of a mobile terminal provide a vehicle driver with information about whether or not he can enter an intersection based on traffic light information and traffic volume information (a traffic congestion degree) to allow the vehicle driver to safely drive on the road (e.g., intersection). The navigation apparatus of a mobile terminal includes a display unit configured to display a route from a current location to a destination on map data, a communication unit configured to receive signal information of a traffic light and traffic volume information regarding an intersection on the route, and a controller configured to inform a vehicle driver about whether or not the vehicle driver can enter the intersection based on the signal information of the traffic light and the traffic volume information.
