Problems solved by technology

[0007] In the case of the device described in Patent Document 1, since the display arranged on the detachable unit is configured to be foldable, it needs to be folded every time it is attached to or detached from the vehicle-side unit, which is extremely cumbersome.
[0008] In the case of the device described in Non-Patent Document 1, the display is fixed on the side of the detachable unit, thus avoiding the above-mentioned problems. However, since the side of the detachable unit is narrow compared with the detachable surface of the vehicle side unit, the area of ​​the display is reduced as a result. Smaller, may not be able to meet the visual recognition

Abstract

A navigation device has a base unit (10) fixable to a dashboard (D) of the driver seat of a vehicle, a front panel unit (14) detachably attachable to the base unit and having a display (14b) for displaying map data, and a microcomputer having a navigation function for causing the located vehicle position to be displayed on the map data. When the front panel unit (14) is at an installation positionwhere it is installed on the base unit (10), a portion of the front panel unit (14) projects, in a side view, in the direction toward a user at the driver seat from a surface (Dw) of the dashboard (D). Thus, the front panel unit can be more flexibly attached to and detached from the base unit without sacrificing the external appearance of the navigation device.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a navigation device, and more specifically, to a device that is mounted on a vehicle and conveys information (direction, map, route, etc.) for reaching a destination to a driver. Background technique [0002] The above-mentioned navigation device was originally limited to the type that is integrally fixed to the vehicle, but recently, a portable type that can be moved has been proposed, and a separate navigation device that can only be disassembled and assembled for the navigation function has been proposed to further improve the convenience of use. Device (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1). [0003] The technology described in Patent Document 1 is a navigation device that includes a GPS receiver connected to a GPS antenna, a gyro sensor, and a vehicle signal processing circuit for vehicle speed signals, a display that displays a map, and a device that controls the whole ECU composition. In th...
