In the conventional vehicular navigation apparatus configured as described above, the GPS receiver 3 receives radio waves from three different GPS satellites 1, that is, GPS data, and calculates the longitude and latitude of the received point.
The controller 4 receives the data on the longitude and latitude calculated by the GPS receiver 3, matches the roads on the map data read from the map data storage unit 5, and displays them on the display 8. .
In addition, the controller 4 corrects an error with respect to the current position of the host vehicle displayed by the GPS data, using data on the speed and driving direction of the host vehicle input from the geomagnetic sensor 9 and the vehicle speed sensor 10. The display is then displayed on the indicator 8.
As described above, the vehicle speed sensor 10 provided in the conventional vehicle navigation apparatus generates a pulse signal corresponding to the rotational speed of the vehicle wheel and applies it to the controller 4, and the controller 4 counts the applied pulse signal. The speed of the vehicle is detected. However, since the rotation speed of the vehicle wheel may vary according to the type of the vehicle and the tire, the vehicle speed data for the host vehicle applied to the controller 10 may be incorrect. Accordingly, there is a problem that an error occurs between the position of the host vehicle displayed on the indicator 8 and the actual position.
In order to solve the conventional problems as described above, the present invention integrates the analog acceleration signal supplied from the acceleration sensor to detect the speed of the vehicle, using the position information of the vehicle currently displayed on the display and the speed of the vehicle It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle navigation apparatus that can accurately display the position of a host vehicle by allowing the vehicle driving direction to be corrected.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle navigation apparatus according to the present invention is installed at a main point of a road, and receives the radio wave transmitted from the GPS satellite 1 through the antenna 2 to calculate the longitude and latitude of the point. GPS receiver (3), a map data storage unit (5) for storing map data about roads, and data on the longitude and latitude applied from the GPS receiver (3) from the map data storage unit (5). By the controller 4 'and the controller 4' for matching the read-out map data, correcting the position of the matched vehicle according to the speed and direction of the vehicle, and outputting the corrected position data. A display driving unit 7 for driving an indicator 8 for visually displaying on the road map an optimal path to the current position and destination of the corrected own vehicle; To enter commands Includes an input unit (6).
In addition, the navigation device for a vehicle according to the present invention includes a geomagnetic sensor 9 'for detecting a traveling direction of the host vehicle, an acceleration sensor 10' for generating an analog signal corresponding to the acceleration of the host vehicle, and the acceleration sensor 10 '. The speed of the host vehicle is calculated by integrating the applied analog signal from the controller, and the corrected vehicle speed and the traveling direction of the host vehicle detected by the geomagnetic sensor 9 'are output from the controller 4'. And a direction and speed calculator 11 for correcting the position data and applying the same to the controller 4 '.
In Fig. 2, the same parts as in the conventional vehicular navigation apparatus are given the same reference numerals as in the prior art.
In the vehicle navigation apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above, the geomagnetic sensor 9 'detects the direction of the host vehicle and applies it to the direction and speed calculator 11.

(11) is corrected according to the speed and traveling direction data of the host vehicle applied from (11) and displayed on the display (8).
The controller 4 'outputs the position data of the host vehicle displayed on the indicator 8 to the direction and speed calculator 11, and the direction and speed calculator 11 outputs the position data applied from the controller 4'. To correct the speed and direction of travel.
That is, the direction and speed calculation unit 11 calculates the speed of the host vehicle by integrating the analog signal applied from the acceleration sensor 10 ', wherein the reference value of the integration is varied so that the speed of the vehicle may be incorrectly calculated. In particular, when the vehicle rotates in the left / right direction, an incorrect speed data may be generated due to a change in the reference value of the integration process, and the traveling direction of the vehicle may also be detected differently from the actual state. In view of this point, in the present invention, the position data for the host vehicle currently displayed on the indicator 8 is fed back to the direction and the speed calculator 11 so that the speed and the moving direction of the host vehicle can be corrected.
The speed and traveling direction of the own vehicle corrected as described above are applied to the controller 4 ', and the controller 4' corrects the GPS data by using the corrected speed and traveling direction of the own vehicle and then displays the host vehicle on the display 8. Will display the position of.
