The pedestrian navigation device includes a map database having a pedestrian road data and a driving route data of at least one public transportation means. In the method, when the pedestrian navigation device is planning a pedestrian navigation route, the pedestrian navigation device reads start position information and end position information, plans a pedestrian road and a driving route of different public transportation means between a start position and an end position according to a pedestrian road data and a driving route data, and then compiles the same into a pedestrian navigation route. The invention allows a pedestrian to reach an end position (or destination) selectively by walking along the planned pedestrian road or taking a ride of the selected public transportation means.

Abstract: A method of providing navigation information by recalculating a navigation route is used in a global positioning device. The method reads an original navigation route first. If another new navigation route can be read again, it shows that the global positioning device is deviated from the original navigation route, and route data of the original navigation route and the new navigation route are compared to generate a comparing information such as an overlapped position of the two navigation routes, and the time or distance required to return to the original new navigation route from the new navigation route and display the comparing information on the global positioning device to remind the users. The present invention can greatly reduce the tension of a user who is not familiar with the routes and road conditions.
