A system for providing origin and destination guide information selects an origin position of a vehicle, and selects a destination link that is a road near the destination in consideration of a position and a type (crossroads, apartment complex, park, or superhighway) of the destination that the vehicle reaches, generates a path from origin to destination based on the selected origin link, the destination link, and real-time traffic information (or map link information), generates guide information including an adjacent map of the generated path and speech information, and provides the guide information to the vehicle terminal. According to the present invention, the system generates the optimized path from the current position to the desired destination and provides the optimized path to the user.

System and method for providing origin and destination guide information

The telematics service providing system generates a path from the departure point to the destination based on traffic information, generates guidance information for each guidance point where a turn to a direction that is different from the current progress direction of the client is needed on the generated path, clips a vicinity map covering a predetermined area with reference to the guidance point from the total map to generate a guidance point vicinity map, converts the generated guidance point vicinity map into a format displayable by the client, and provides the converted map to the client terminal. Accordingly, confusion caused by complex crossroads or paths that need consecutive and same direction turns may be prevented, the client terminal may not need a memory for storing large-volume geographic information data, and the client may not additionally need to upgrade the geographic information data.
