Method of displaying objects on navigation map
First Claim
1. A method of displaying a plurality of items of a search result of a navigation system, the method comprising:
- measuring, by a position measuring device which includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, a present user position based on GPS signals and moving distance and direction sensor signals;
selecting the plurality of items of a same group attribute of the search result where the items are related to geographic positions including the present user position specified during operations of the navigation system;
associating, by a processor, the plurality of items with a plurality of graphic attributes respectively in a manner that every two items of the plurality of items are associated with different graphic attributes, thereby assigning a unique graphic attribute to each item, and wherein the selected plurality of items of the same group attribute of the search result has an identical icon representing the same group attribute of the search result; and
displaying, on a screen of the navigation system, the plurality of items using the plurality of graphic attributes along with the identical icon representing the same group attribute of the search result.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus of displaying a plurality of items on a map includes operations of selecting the plurality of items, associating the plurality of items with a plurality of graphic attributes respectively in a manner that two items of the plurality of items are associated with different graphic attributes, and displaying the plurality of items using the plurality of graphic attributes. Thus, the method of displaying the plurality of items on the map allows a user to distinguish the plurality of items by graphic attributes while at least one of the plurality of items is specified by user'"'"'s voice commands, even if the plurality of items belong to a same group attribute.
