A navigation system includes: an intersection enlargement creation unit
that creates based upon map data an intersection enlargement over a
predetermined map range around a target guidance-requiring intersection
present on a recommended route, at which a turn should be made; an
intersection enlargement display unit that displays at a display monitor
the intersection enlargement having been created by the intersection
enlargement creation unit; and a mark display unit that displays an
indicator mark indicating an advancing path shape at a next
guidance-requiring intersection immediately beyond the target
guidance-requiring intersection over the intersection enlargement on
display at the display monitor.
