A navigation apparatus can be configured to be installed in a vehicle, including a display; a wireless communication unit; and a controller operatively connected to the display and configured to receive a first destination from a mobile terminal for controlling the navigation apparatus, display route information from an origination position to the first destination received from the mobile terminal, display, on the display of the navigation apparatus, when a current position of the navigation apparatus is within a preset range of the destination, a message inquiring whether or not the first destination is a final destination, receive a new destination after an input indicating that the first destination point is not the final destination, and display, on the display of the navigation apparatus, road guidance information from the current position to the new destination point.

Navigation apparatus and method

A navigation configured to be installed in a motor vehicle, and a corresponding method. According to an embodiment, there is a method that includes: a) reproducing video information corresponding to a straight section included in the route information at a speed faster than a typical reproduction speed; and b) reproducing video information corresponding to a curved section included in the route information at a speed slower than the typical reproduction speed.

Route information for a route from a departure location to a destination location is generated. The generated route information is displayed on a first display of a first device. User input based upon the route information displayed on the first display of the first device is received at the first device. Route media is generated at the first device in response to the received user input. The generated route media is different than the route information displayed on the display of the first device. The generated route media is transmitted from the first device to a second device. The second device includes a second display.

Multi-device mapping functionality

A method and device for updating map data of a navigation device. The method includes receiving information relating to an area update of the map data from a data server via a wireless broadcast to the navigation device; and displaying the information in graphical form on a map displayed on a display screen. The method may further include receiving a user input selecting an area on the map corresponding to the area update; wirelessly transmitting the area as an area selection to the data server; wirelessly receiving updated map information corresponding to the selected area from the data server; and loading the received updated map information into the navigation device.
