FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: route indication system includes a part for detecting the current location, processing apparatus for searching for a route and display processing apparatus. The display processing apparatus includes processing apparatus for calculating a branching element which calculates the number of branching elements from the location of the reference vehicle to a point which determines the motion path, and processing apparatus for displaying the point which indicates the route based on the calculated number of branching elements. The number of branching elements from the location of the reference vehicle to the point which determines the motion path is calculated, and the route is displayed based on the calculated number of branching elements. It is therefore easy to identify the point which determines the motion path by counting the number of branching elements regardless of the number of road signs between the location of the reference vehicle and the point which determines the motion path.
EFFECT: providing a driver with possibility of correctly identifying intersections which determine the direction of travel.
