Abstract
The present disclosure provides a navigation apparatus that is capable of switching between the display of a direction sign image and the display of an enlarged view of an intersection and reducing an erroneous recognition of a target intersection made by a driver. The navigation apparatus displays the direction sign image related to the target intersection when a distance between the host vehicle and an installation location of the direction sign is within a sign display distance. The navigation apparatus displays an intersection enlarged view of the target intersection when a distance between the host vehicle and the target intersection is within an enlarged view display distance, which is set shorter than the sign display distance.
