The invention provides a navigation apparatus and a navigation server
capable of providing information to the user enabling comparison between
a route that the user is actually traveling and a different route.
According to a car navigation apparatus 200, a route setup unit 230 sets
up plural routes. An actual route recognition unit 231 recognizes an
"actual route" of the vehicle M. Further, a virtual route recognition
unit 232 recognizes a "virtual route" that differs from the actual route.
Moreover, a virtual travel information recognition unit 240 recognizes a
"virtual travel information" containing a virtual position of the vehicle
M on the virtual route. The actual travel information, the actual route,
the virtual travel information and the virtual route are displayed on a
liquid crystal panel 250.
