18. A navigation device comprising:
-
a travelling path displaying unit that searches a travelling path to a destination set by a user and displays the travelling path and points of interest along the traveling path on map data; a traffic condition data receiving unit that receives a first traffic condition data for the first point of interest and a second traffic condition data for the second point of interest through a wireless communication device in response to a request to provide a traffic condition data over the travelling path; and a traffic condition data providing unit that provides the travelling path displaying unit with only traffic condition data for each of the points of interest along the traveling path. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 28)

24. A navigation device comprising:
-
a travelling path displaying unit that searches a travelling path to a destination set by a user and displays the travelling path, a first point of interest along the traveling path, and a second point of interest along the travelling path on map data on map data; a traffic condition data receiving unit that receives traffic condition data from a content managing server through a wireless communication device in response to a request to provide the traffic condition data over the travelling path; and a traffic condition data providing unit that provides the travelling path displaying unit with only traffic condition data for points of interest along the traveling path including both a first real-time image of traffic at the first point of interest and a second real-time image of traffic at the second point of interest. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)

33. A method of providing traffic condition data through a navigation device having a display, said method comprising:
-
searching a travelling path to a destination set by a user; displaying the travelling path and points of interest along the travelling path, including a first point of interest along the traveling path, and a second point of interest along the travelling path, on map data, on the display; receiving traffic condition data for only the points of interest along the travelling path from a content managing server through a wireless communication device in response to a request to provide the traffic condition data over the travelling path, wherein the traffic condition data includes traffic image data with a first real-time image of traffic at a first point of interest over the travelling path and a second real-time image of traffic at a second point of interest over the travelling path; and providing both the first and second real-time images along with the travelling path on the display. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36)

37. A method of providing traffic condition data through a navigation device, said method comprising:
-
searching a travelling path to a destination set by a user; displaying the travelling path and points of interest along the travelling path, including a first point of interest along the traveling path, and a second point of interest along the travelling path, on the display; receiving traffic condition data from a content managing server for only the points of interest along the travelling path through a wireless communication device in response to a request to provide the traffic condition data over the travelling path, wherein the traffic condition data includes traffic image data with a real-time image of traffic at the first point of interest a real-time message of a variable message sign positioned at the second point of interest; and providing the user with the received traffic condition data including a traffic image data, wherein the traffic image data comprises both the real-time image of traffic at the first point of interest over the traveling path and the real-time message of the variable message sign at the second point of interest, wherein the content managing server provides traffic condition data associated with the map data based at least in part on a user'"'"'s position and movement along the travelling path. - View Dependent Claims (38)
