In a navigation apparatus, when a user starts to walk along a walking course, the user instructs the navigation apparatus to commence the navigation operation as to this walk course which has been formed / registered thereinto based upon positional information, walking pattern information, and temporal information. The navigation apparatus sequentially compares a present walking speed with another walking speed which was acquired at the same position in the past by executing a walking-speed comparing process operation, and then notifies such an information related to a present walking pace of this user based upon the comparison result with respect to the user.

A display is divided into two regions, a standard region and an enlarged region with a user positioned is at an angle relative to the display. The standard region is formed on a side nearer the user and the enlarged region is formed on a side farther from the user. When the navigation device displays guidance information, information displayed in the standard region is displayed on a standard scale, while information displayed in the enlarged region is displayed enlarged relative to the standard scale. Since the display on the side farther from the user position is thus enlarged, the user can more easily view that guidance information.

A navigation device (100) for route guidance, comprising: a GPS unit (114) that obtains current position information through communication with the GPS; The route data or map data acquisition part (160) of the route data about the selected route; Judging whether the current position information can be obtained, when the current position information can be obtained, the guidance control part (120) for route guidance based on the obtained current position information ); when it is judged that the current position information cannot be obtained, the GPS communication control unit (150) that cuts off the communication with the GPS; when it is judged that the current position information cannot be obtained, the server communication control unit that cuts off the communication with the navigation server (300) (170). Therefore, when the current position information cannot be obtained, the power consumption can be reduced, and the burden of communication charges can be reduced.

The invention provides a navigation apparatus and navigation program which guide when a lane is added to correspond to a road on which a vehicle is traveling. If determination that a course change at a branch point is necessary and a vehicle is traveling on a road in which a lane is added to correspond to a road which is taken after the course change (road before the branch point), 'direction guidance' is provided before a road section in which the lane is added (added lane section) and 'lane guidance' is provided in the added lane section. As above, by switching the 'direction guidance' and the 'lane guidance' depending on whether the vehicle has reached the added lane section or not, and by providing either one of the guidances, a driver can recognize the guidance without confusion. Particularly, when the branch point is branched off at a narrow angle and when the added lane is a lane dedicated to the road which is taken after the course change, by providing the lane guidance, instead of the direction guidance indicating left or right, the guidance becomes easier to understand.

The management system plots the route to be flown in a flight plan, at least partially, by a chaining of published navigation procedures accessible from a NavDB navigation database and constituted of sequences of waypoints and / or turn points associated with specific flight constraints. It comprises a mirror memory storing the latest versions of the published navigation procedures, modified by the crew of the aircraft during the progress of the flight plan and means of substituting these latest versions stored in the mirror memory for the published versions of the navigation procedures during a change in the route predicted in the flight plan obtained by a new chaining of navigation procedures, some of which are taken from the preceding chaining. This makes it possible, during a change of navigation procedure, to take account of specific flight constraints already entered during the progress of the flight but not appearing in the published navigation procedures.

A method for illustrating potential benefits resulting from revised navigation procedures to a customer is described. The method includes preparing a model for a revised navigation procedure, determining a landing probability for both an existing minimum separation procedure and a minimum separation determined utilizing the revised navigation procedure, calculating a benefit associated with a difference in the landing probabilities, and validating the revised navigation procedures through demonstration and use of the revised navigation procedure model on a computer-based flight simulation program.

A navigation apparatus and method are provided. The navigation apparatus includes an image acquiring part that acquires an image of a road feature from a vehicle camera. The apparatus also includes a correction distance table that stores a correction distance to correct a difference between a position of a vehicle when the feature disappears from an imaging area of the camera and a guidance output reference position that is a position of the vehicle when the feature disappears from a driver's view. Further, a judging part is included and judges, based on the image acquired by the image acquiring part and the correction distance stored in the correction distance table, whether the vehicle has arrived at the guidance output reference position. Lastly, the apparatus includes a guidance part that provides guidance regarding the traffic light at a predetermined position having the guidance output reference position as a reference.

A system and method are provided for identifying changes on navigation procedure charts. A processing system is coupled with a user interface and a display device for access and display of old and new navigation procedure charts from different revision cycles. A computer software-based differences engine of the processing system obtains an old navigation procedure chart from an old chart storage memory and a new navigation procedure chart from a new chart storage memory. The differences engine determines changes in information from the old navigation procedure chart to the new navigation procedure chart. The navigation procedure charts may, for example, be aeronautical charts. The changes in information are visually identified such that the user can easily determine the changes that have been made from an old chart to a corresponding new chart.
