The invention relates to a real-time square surface looking board guidance design method of a navigation apparatus. According to the present invention, the method is achieved through a geographic information reading module, a GPS receiving / positioning module, a path planning module, an intersection guidance data making module, a guidance control module, and a display module; based on different use requirements of users in the two cases of the path with no planning and the path with planning, two sets of real-time image guidance control implementation schemes are designed, wherein the first scheme is real-time image guidance control in the case of the path with no planning, and the second scheme is real-time image guidance control in the case of the path with planning; and the design method has the following advantages that: on the basis of the existing navigation guidance services, innovative functions are provided, real-time, dynamic, intelligent and humanized features are added, defects that the traditional square surface looking board has a fixed position, is immovable, and can not initiatively provide turning prompts for drivers are effectively overcome, and distraction with looking the square surface looking board indication board erected on the roadside is not required during a driving process so as to reduce driving risk and protect safety of personnel and vehicles.
