A vehicle navigation apparatus is provided which can reliably guide a
vehicle along a guidance route when the vehicle approaches an
intersection of interest at which it is to make a turn even if another
intersection exists between a vehicle position and the intersection of
interest. A controller determines whether or not another intersection
exists between the vehicle position and the next guidance intersection
(an intersection at which the vehicle is to make a turn) when the vehicle
reaches a predetermined distance from the guidance intersection. If
another intersection is determined to exist, an intersection guidance map
with an arrow indicative of the guidance route colored in a predetermined
color is displayed on a display device. In one embodiment, if another
intersection does not exist between the vehicle and the guidance
intersection, the color of the arrow displayed is changed to a different
color.
