ABSTRACT:
A navigation apparatus and arrival detection method detect a current location of a vehicle and searches for a route to a set destination. The apparatus and method provide guidance to the destination along the searched route and determine whether the destination is set within a car-free area. If it is determined that the destination is set within the car-free area, the apparatus and method expand an arrival detection area for the destination, and terminate the guidance to the destination when it is determined that the vehicle is within the expanded arrival detection area. Alternatively, even if the destination is not within a car-free area, after an engine of a vehicle is shut off and restarts, the navigation apparatus and method expand an arrival detection area for the destination, and terminate the guidance to the destination when the vehicle is within the expanded arrival detection area.
