Abstract
A method of providing a GUI and a digital device includes determining whether a user has approached a start position of an operation of a user input unit for operating the GUI that is displayed on a display; and displaying a guide on the GUI that is displayed on the display if it is determined that the user has approached the start position of an operation. Accordingly, a user can confirm that his/her finger has approached the start position of an operation through the guide, and thus can input a desired command as seeing only the display.
