1. A navigation device comprisinga designated operation means which sets information necessary for navigation, a position computation means which computes a present position of a vehicle and which transmits positional data showing a present position and set information received from said designated operation means, a general-purpose input means which sets positional data showing a present position and information necessary for navigation, and a guiding information display means which displays route-guiding information based on positional data and set information when such positional data and set information is set by said general-purpose input means or by said position computation means;
- wherein the designated operation means and the position computation unit are disposed in the vehicle and the general-purpose input means and the guiding information display means are a portable unit that is operable both when attached to and removed from the position computation means.
