Abstract

A display method and apparatus for navigation system for specifying the destination easily and quickly. The navigation system is designed to enable a user to quickly select a POI (Point of Interest) through a set of POIs specially made by a user or by the system. The navigation system includes a “Favorite POI” menu created based on user's preference or frequency of use and/or “Last POI” created based on most recent use. The user can directly select a POI through the “Favorite POI” or “Last POI”. Since this process does not require a long list of category and sub-category or page scrolling, the user can easily and quickly select the destination.
