Problems solved by technology

[0008] 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.
[0009] 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

In a navigation apparatus having a base unit (10) that is fastenable to a dashboard (D) at a driver's seat of a vehicle; a front panel unit (14) that is attachable to and detachable from the base unit and is equipped with a display (14b) displaying map data; and a microcomputer that performs a navigation function to indicate a determined location of the vehicle on the map data, it is configured such that a part of the front panel unit (14) projects from a surface (Dw) of the dashboard (D) toward a user seated in the driver's seat, as viewed from side, when the front panel unit (14) is attached to the base unit (10). With this, the degree of freedom of front panel unit attachment / detachment with respect to the base unit is improved without sacrificing the appearance of the navigation apparatus.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application for an invention patent application with an application date of May 2, 2008, an application number of 200880014147.9, and an invention title of "Navigation Device". Technical field [0002] 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 [0003] 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). [0004] The technology described in Patent Document 1 is a navigation device that include...
