Navigation apparatus
First Claim
1. A navigation apparatus that performs a route guidance for a vehicle based on preset route information and current position information, the navigation apparatus comprising:
- a guidance-information creating unit that creates guidance information by acquiring a first guiding direction, in which the vehicle should be guided on a first point, and a second guiding direction, in which the vehicle should be guided on a second point following the first guiding direction, from the preset route information and the current position information;
an acoustic-image creating unit that creates an acoustic image for notifying a driver of the guidance information; and
an acoustic-image control unit that controls, when the second point is close to the first point, a direction of movement of the acoustic image in a single direction.
