On-board navigation apparatus
First Claim
1. An on-board navigation apparatus for setting a destination and displaying navigational information from a present location to the destination on the basis of destination coordinate data representing the set destination and present location coordinate data representing the present location of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory having a plurality of storage positions for storing the destination coordinate data;
reading means for reading out said destination coordinate data stored in said memory at a time of destination setting;
means for selecting one piece of destination coordinate data from the read destination coordinate data in accordance with an input instruction to thereby set a destination according to the selected one piece of destination coordinate data; and
writing means for, every time a new destination is set by an operator, permanently writing new destination coordinate data representing the new destination at a storage position, said storage position being different from other storage positions where previously selected destination coordinate data is stored, so that said new destination coordinate data can be retrieved at a later time.

Abstract
An on-board navigation apparatus in which coordinate data of formerly set designations are held in a memory, the destination coordinate data stored in the memory are read out at the time of destination setting, and one piece of destination coordinate data is selected from the read designation coordinate data in accordance with an operation input to thereby set a destination according to the selected one piece of destination coordinate data. The arrangement can allow a user to easily set the same destination as a formerly set destination only by a simple selecting operation.
