Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012068252
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a navigation apparatus in which a map database and software capable of forming a route plan between user definition points are programmed.

The navigation apparatus is programmed so that an arbitrary function belonging to a set of core functions can be related to a non-overlapped touch input zone having a sufficiently large size capable of surely starting the function by using a finger. Thereby the set of core functions can be identified and all the core functions can be surely selected/started by touching the touch input zone having the sufficiently large size for surely starting the functions with a finger.
