ABSTRACT:
A disclosed vehicle navigation apparatus enables the issuance of an accurate and quick guidance. Voice uttered by an occupant of a vehicle is collected by a voice collecting unit and transmitted to an external facility by a voice transmitting unit. The external facility generates destination information based on the received voice, and transmits the destination information back to a destination information receiving unit of the apparatus. Based on the received destination information, the apparatus issues a guidance. The apparatus further includes a destination extracting unit by which the voice collected by the voice collecting unit is subjected to voice recognition in order to extract a destination from the collected voice. A tentative guidance is then issued based on the extracted destination until the destination information is received by the destination information receiving unit from the external facility.
