The present invention is adapted to a navigation device which performs 3
dimensional display when approaching an intersection. The navigation
device of the present invention comprises a map database which stores a
number of vehicle lanes of a road which enters an intersection, a road
width display database which decreases each vehicle lane width and
increases the width of the total road depending on a number of vehicle
lanes on a road, a road width display data extraction portion which
extracts a number of vehicle lanes of a road which enters a corresponding
intersection from a map database when approaching an intersection and
which extracts road width display data corresponding to an extracted
number of vehicle lanes from that road with display database a display
which carries out display based on said extracted road width display data.
In this way, it is easy to directly understand the number of vehicle lanes
and such a display is easy to view.
