Abstract

Abstract A navigation navigation system according to the present invention comprises: a database apparatus provided with map display data constituted of data representing road positions and physical forms provided in separate sets to correspond to different scales and route search data constituted of data representing connection states of one road connecting with another road provided in separate sets to correspond to different scales; and a control apparatus that, when displaying recommended route data obtained by performing a search using the route search data at a specific first scale superimposed upon a roadmap that is displayed on a monitor based upon map display data at a second scale that is larger than the first scale, reads out physical form data of the recommended route data obtained by performing the search using the route search data at the first scale based upon the map display data at the second scale and displays the physical form data superimposed upon the roadmap on the monitor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A navigation system comprising: a database apparatus provided with map display data constituted of data representing road positions and physical forms provided in separate sets to correspond to different scales and route search data constituted of data representing connection states of one road connecting with another road provided in separate sets to correspond to different scales; and a control apparatus that, when displaying recommended route data obtained by performing a search using said route search data at a specific first scale superimposed upon a roadmap that is displayed on a monitor based upon map display data at a second scale that is larger than said first scale, reads out physical form data of said recommended route data obtained by performing said search using said route search data at said first scale based upon said map display data at said second scale and displays said physical form data superimposed upon said roadmap on the monitor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 68 words
A navigation system according to claim 1, wherein: links in said map display data and said route search data at said second scale that are identical to links in said map display data and said route search data at said first scale are assigned with identical link numbers as those assigned to said links in said map display data and said route search data at said first scale.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
A navigation system according to claim 2 wherein: said control apparatus searches said map display data at said second scale based upon link numbers of links in said recommended route data at aid first scale and extracts physical form data of links sharing common link numbers.
