ABSTRACT:
A vehicle navigation apparatus and a method of searching for and displaying a neighborhood facility are provided for enabling an effective search for a neighborhood facility with a searching range having a directivity according to a user's intention. The vehicle navigation apparatus comprises a display unit, an information input unit for entering information designated by a user, a storage unit for storing map information including information about facilities, and a controller for controlling information sent to or from these components. While a map image is displayed on a screen of the display unit based on the map information, a base point for search and a genre of a facility of interest for search are designated by the user, and a desired searching direction viewed from the search base point is also designated. At this time, the apparatus searches across the map information for facilities which belong to the designated genre and which are located in the designated searching direction to display a result of the search in a list.
