Abstract
A vehicle navigation system performs regular travel guidance with respect to a guidance target intersection at a specific distance short of the intersection. When a distance between first and second guidance target intersections is shorter than the specific distance, regular travel guidance with respect to the second guidance target intersection is not performed. In this case, the vehicle navigation system performs supplementary travel guidance with respect to the second guidance target intersection immediately after passing through the first guidance target intersection. Accordingly, travel guidance can always be performed with respect to an immediate guidance target intersection.
