  • Publication number: 20130035851
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a navigator. The navigator comprises a control unit connecting to a storage unit and a positioning unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of map information. The plurality of map information comprises a plurality of points of interest (POIs). The positioning unit provides the position information. First, the control unit gets the number of the plurality of points of interest in the location of the navigator according to the position information and the plurality of map information. Then, the control unit controls a display unit to show a display scale around maps of the navigator according to the number of the plurality of points of interest and a number threshold value.
