Abstract:
A navigation apparatus wherein â€œlatitudeâ€  and â€œlongitude â€  are used as coordinate information on a set location, characterized by comprising a display device which includes a design for numerically displaying values of, at least, â€œdegreesâ€  and â€œminutesâ€  of each of the â€œlatitudeâ€  and â€œlongitudeâ€ , an input device which sets the values by employing the design of said display device, a storage device which stores therein the coordinate information on the set location, and a control device by which, in a case where the display of â€œdegreesâ€  by said design of said display device has been validated at a predetermined value by operating said input device, the display of â€œminutesâ€  by said design of said display device is automatically changed to a preset value, and by which, when said display of â€œdegreesâ€  by said design of said display device has been validated at the predetermined value by said input device, said display of â€œminutesâ€  by said design of the display device is validated at said preset value, and the respective values are stored in said storage device as said coordinate information on said set location.
