Embodiment 1

[0025] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a navigation device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an operation part for setting destinations, switching display screens, etc.; 2 is a current location detection part (current location detection) that detects the current location of the vehicle, such as a GPS receiver and a vehicle speed sensor, etc. are installed. unit); 3 is when the map data is stored, the data (such as intersection name, intersection shape, connection road data (road category, road name, route number) )) etc. to store the map storage device (storage unit).

[0026] 4 is a navigation ECU (route search unit, screen generation unit and display unit), which has a route search function, a screen generation function and a display function. The route exploration function explores the route from the current location to the destination; the screen generation function lists the guidance points on the route explored by the route explor...

Embodiment 2

[0044] Under the instruction of the navigation ECU 4, the voice output part 6 can also voice output the road name and the route number of the road indicating the direction of travel at the guide point of the road. This point is not specifically described in the above-mentioned Example 1.

[0045] In this way, the user can grasp the road name and the route number without looking at the route list screen and the route guidance screen.

Embodiment 3

[0047] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, both the road name and the route number are included in the route list screen and the route guide screen for display, and the road name can also use general and common names such as "unfilial road".

[0048] As described above, in the present invention, the screen generation unit includes both the road name and the route number of the route searched by the route search unit in the route list screen, so that the user can easily grasp the route.

[0049] In the present invention, at the guide point on the route, the road name and the route number of the road indicating the direction of travel are included in the route list screen, so the user can easily grasp the road in the direction of travel.

[0050] In the present invention, the screen generation unit includes both the road name and the route number of the route searched by the route search unit in the route guidance screen, so that the user can easily grasp the route.

Abstract

To solve such problems that route situation is difficult to grasp in some cases, and so on, especially when marks on which only line numbers are displayed are erected on roads, even if the names of the roads in a route are displayed, since route guidance can be understood more easily by users in some cases when line numbers in the route are displayed than the case that the roadnames in the route are displayed, though the roadnames in the route are usually displayed preferentially. The name and the line number of a road which indicate a proceeding direction at a guide point on the route are added to a route list screen and a route guidance screen.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a navigation device and a navigation method for guiding a route to a destination. Background technique [0002] When a conventional navigation device displays a route guidance screen showing a route from the current location to a destination, if the road name of the route is registered, the road name of the route is displayed. [0003] However, if the road name of the route is not registered, the route number of the route is displayed. [0004] JP-A-4-316200 discloses a navigation device that displays a road name of a route. [0005] The structure of the conventional navigation device is as described above, so the road name of the route is preferentially displayed. However, for the user, there are problems such as that the route number displaying the route may be easier to understand than the road name displaying the route, and the route may be difficult to grasp. Especially when there is only a sign indicating the r...
