Abstract
A display method and apparatus for navigation system for specifying the destination easily and quickly. The navigation system is designed to enable a user to quickly select a street name and easily specify the street number of the destination. The navigation system includes a menu for changing a street number of the displayed address through numeric keys. After selecting the street name on the map screen by pointing a cursor on a street image, the street number on the cursor point can be easily and quickly changed to match the destination because it is not necessary to input the street name through the key board.
