Abstract:
1. A warning generating apparatus for generating a warning in a navigation system, the apparatus comprising: a data receiving unit for receiving route guidance information data including path information to a destination and current weather information; a data analyzing unit for determining whether warning data has been included in the route guidance information data outputted from the data receiving unit; a sensor for sensing a current travel speed of a movable body; a restricted warning generating unit for receiving the route guidance information data from the data analyzing unit if the route guidance information data includes the warning data, for receiving the current travel speed from the sensor, and for determining whether the restricted warning generating unit will output a warning for the warning data based on the current travel speed, the warning data, the current weather information and warning generation conditions stored in advance corresponding to a type of the warning data; and a warning/guidance output unit for outputting the warning corresponding to the warning data, when the restricted warning generating unit determines to output the warning, wherein the warning data and the warning generation conditions include data for weather conditions and regulation speed.
