In this state, the user may select a desired navigation operation by changing the navigation mode or the path through the user input unit 130.

On the other hand, if the position to be turned (rotate) during driving is included in the preset range (for example, within 100M) (proximity) is checked (S13), and if the position to be turned (turned) is included in the preset range, the controller ( In operation S14, the screen 180 displays information on a position at which the user actually turns (rotates) to reduce the quantized error range of the navigation, for example, to reduce the quantitative error range when the user goes down a narrow alley. On the other hand, if the position to be turned (rotated) is not included in the preset range, the process proceeds to step S15 to be described later.

Preferably, the information about the turn position may include a building to be turned by the user and a picture of the front building to be seen when turning. In addition, the screen is a TBT screen displayed on a predetermined area of the display unit 151, and the TBT screen displays at least one or more information in different areas. As an example, the controller 180 may place a picture of buildings on the front screen on a basic screen, and place a picture of a building to be turned on and a picture of a front building to be turned on at a lower portion of the screen. As another example, the base screen may be arranged to place a picture of the buildings visible in the front, the building to be turned on the top and the picture of the front building to be turned on, may be arranged, the position can be changed as needed.

That is, the present invention displays the position and the map information of the moving body on the first screen, and if the position to turn while driving is detected, the detailed information of the position to actually turn is displayed on the second screen. The first screen represents a main screen, and the second screen represents a TBT screen.

FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram of a TBT screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates a layout of a user interface (UI) in a situation in which a user should turn.

Referring to FIG. 7, the controller 180 graphically displays a picture or a shape of buildings basically displayed on the front of the TBT screen, and the front portion 50 of the screen moves to a moving direction and a distance to a turn position. For example, by displaying a turn indication and "about 100M ahead" under the turn indication, the user is informed that there is a position to turn around about 100M. In addition, the lower part 51 displays a picture of the buildings to be turned by the user and the buildings to be seen when the user turns. 7 illustrates that all information is displayed on the TBT screen as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and most of the information may be displayed on the main screen and only some information may be displayed on the lower portion 51. .

8 is a configuration diagram of a TBT screen according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8, the configuration diagram of the TBT screen according to another embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as that of FIG. 7. The TBT screen shown in FIG. 8 emphasizes that the user should turn by changing the animation and color of the arrow to be moved when the position to turn is very close.

In addition, in order to further emphasize the timing at which the user should turn, the controller 180 zooms in and enlarges the buildings 60 and 61 to be turned among the buildings displayed on the front part 50 of the screen or the user should turn. As you widen the road and turn in between, highlight the Blink to identify the front building.

In addition, the controller 180 may control the sound output module 152 or the alarm unit 153 to once again emphasize that it is time to turn the user by outputting sound or vibration.

Once the navigation information related to the position to be turned is displayed on the TBT screen, the controller 180 receives the current position of the moving object from the position information module 115 described above, and checks whether the moving object has arrived at the destination (S15). As a result of the check, when the moving object arrives at the destination, the navigation operation is terminated. If the moving object has not yet reached the destination, the operation proceeds to step S11 described above, and the operations of steps S11 to S15 are repeatedly performed.

As described above, the present invention shows a front picture (or shape) of the building of both sides (left and right) that should be actually turned and the building when turned so that the user can easily turn on the TBT screen of the display unit 151. The user can quickly arrive at the destination.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method may be embodied as computer readable codes on a medium in which a program is recorded. The computer-readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of computer-readable media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disks, optical data storage devices, and the like, which are also implemented in the form of carrier waves (eg, transmission over the Internet). It also includes. In addition, the computer may include the controller 180 of the terminal.

As described above, the present invention allows the user to find the destination more conveniently by showing the information on the screen where the user actually turns to reduce the numerical error range of the existing navigation. In addition, although the present invention has been described using a mobile terminal equipped with a navigation program as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the same applies to a general navigation device.
