The present invention relates to a route guidance method of a navigation system, and more particularly, a route of a navigation system for providing convenience of a driver's or passenger by providing a ferry platform and a guide on a ferry among the route guidance. It is about a guidance method.

With the diversification of wireless mobile communication services, wireless mobile communication and location tracking systems are being combined with automobiles. In particular, the vehicle navigation system that provides real-time traffic information and guides traffic information services, and the remote vehicle that informs the presence of vehicle abnormalities. There is a growing interest in telematics services that are intended to integrate diagnostics, vehicle location tracking using GPS, and additional information services that provide various information services.

The telematics system is provided in a vehicle and provides various computing functions as well as functions as a terminal for receiving various information, and a location-based information service that detects vehicle location from a control center (information center) and informs surrounding information, and a car. Remote vehicle diagnosis service that checks and controls the vehicle status by connecting the electronic control device of the vehicle, the vehicle diagnostic equipment, and the terminal to the control center, and provides a navigation service that provides traffic information to the desired destination of the driver. It will be included.

Looking at the navigation service in detail, it determines the optimal route from the origin to the destination at the request of the user and provides the result to the user. To this end, the navigation server (information center) determines the route using the departure and destination information of the navigation vehicle and the current traffic information at the time of departure. However, when conducting route guidance from the departure point to the arrival point using the traffic information at the departure point, the traffic information after the lapse of the driving time cannot be considered, and therefore, the dynamic route guidance cannot be performed. The disadvantage is that the accuracy of the estimated arrival time is poor.

In order to make up for this drawback, in recent years, updated traffic information such as accidents and weather are used to periodically plan routes while driving and to induce changes.

Meanwhile, in the conventional navigation system, when the vehicle travels along the searched route, there may be a case where the searched route includes a ferry. In this case, if there is no guide for the ferry, there is a case of re-finding the route or returning the route after recognizing that the selection of the route was not made until it arrives at the ferry platform.

That is, in the above case, since the conventional route guidance method does not provide a guide even when the ferry is included in the route, it is determined that the route is incorrectly selected only after arriving at the ferry platform. A problem caused by discomfort occurred.

Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve various problems that occur when a ferry is included in a route in the conventional navigation system as described above, and additionally provides a guide on a ferry platform and a ferry among the found route guides. B aims to provide a route guidance method of the navigation system for the convenience of passengers.
