1. A navigation apparatus, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with an entity;
a controller configured to search a plurality of candidate paths from a current location to a destination from map data, to detect travel time and distance for each of the plurality of candidate paths, and to calculate a fuel consumption index based on multiple road information conditions for a corresponding candidate path from the current location to the destination; and
a display unit configured to display the detected travel time and distance and the calculated fuel consumption index for each of the plurality of candidate paths,wherein the fuel consumption index indicates an estimated amount of fuel used to travel the corresponding candidate path, andwherein the multiple road information conditions comprise a curvature of a curved road section for the corresponding candidate path, a cell phone usage frequency occurring for the corresponding candidate path, and police activity occurring on the corresponding candidate path.

12. A method of controlling a navigation apparatus, the method comprising:
-
wirelessly communicate, via a wireless communication unit on the navigation apparatus, with an entity; searching, via a controller on the navigation apparatus, a plurality of candidate paths from a current location to a destination from map data; detecting travel time and distance for each of the plurality of candidate paths; calculating, via the controller, a fuel consumption index based on multiple road information conditions for a corresponding candidate path from the current location to the destination; and displaying the detected travel time and distance and the calculated fuel consumption index for each of the plurality of candidate paths on a display unit, wherein the fuel consumption index indicates an estimated amount of fuel used to travel the corresponding candidate path, wherein the multiple road information conditions comprise a curvature of a road section for the corresponding candidate path, a cell phone usage frequency occurring for the corresponding candidate path, and police activity occurring on the corresponding candidate path. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
