The present invention relates in general to a navigation system, more
particularly, to a navigation system and an operating method thereof, in
which the navigation system shows the configuration of a complicated
intersection a driver is about to enter, and displays where to turn and a
progression rate of the car on the path the driver is headed to. The
navigation system includes a map data memory for storing map data; an
input unit including a route guiding module, in which a user inputs
information and/or designates a travelling path, and the input unit
provides information on a route from an entrance road of a car to an exit
road from an intersection; a GPS receiver including a positioning module
for detecting a present position of the car on the basis of position
information provided from at least one GPS satellite; a Gyro sensor for
detecting a rotation angle of the car; a controller, which uses the map
data from the map data memory, route information from the input unit,
information from the GPS receiver about the present position of the car,
and route information from the Gyro sensor, to generate the configuration
of an intersection the user is supposed to enter and an arrow indicating
a driving route to the user, and to display a progression rate of the car
along the route; and a display driving unit for displaying the
configuration of the intersection and the arrow for route guidance, on
the basis of output data from the controller, and for performing a
graphic operation on the configuration, thereby a gradual progression
rate of the car is indicated in the directional arrow.
