1. A navigation device comprising:
- a memory comprising computer executable instructions;
a display; and
a processor configured to read and execute the computer executable instructions to implement;
a travelling path displaying unit that searches a travelling path to a destination set by a user and displays, on the display, the travelling path on map data;
a traffic condition data receiving unit that receives traffic condition data for points of interest along the travelling path, including a first point of interest corresponding to a first closed circuit television (CCTV) installation position and a second point of interest corresponding to a second CCTV installation position, through a wireless communication device in response to a request to provide the traffic condition data over the travelling path; and
a traffic condition data providing unit that provides, on the display, the traffic condition data including a first CCTV image corresponding to the first point of interest and a second CCTV image corresponding to the second point of interest,wherein the travelling path on map data, the first CCTV image, and the second CCTV image are simultaneously provided on the display, andwherein the traffic condition data for one of the points of interest includes a real-time image of a variable message electric sign positioned at the one of the points of interest, and the traffic condition data providing unit provides, on the display, the real-time image of the variable message electric sign positioned at the one of the points of interest.
