ABSTRACT:
A navigation apparatus which can preferentially recognize important information on a map hidden by buildings, mountains, etc. Which were stereoscopically displayed and enables a set route or a present position of a vehicle to be easily recognized. A navigation apparatus has: a recording medium on which at least map data having a road and shape data which is included in the map data and serves as a main landmark object to recognize a feature of a map have been recorded; an image forming unit for forming image information when the map data is seen from a desired sight point position on the basis of the map data and the shape data; a display unit for displaying on the basis of the image information formed by the image forming unit; and a control unit for controlling the recording medium, image forming unit, and display unit. The control unit controls a shape data changing unit to change at least a part of the shape data on the basis of at least the map data and also controls the image forming unit to form the image information on the basis of the map data, the shape data, and shape data changed by the shape data changing unit.
