VEHICLE NAVIGATION DEVICE

There are included a sensor 310 which outputs pulse signals corresponding to the traveling distances of a vehicle, a vehicle display device 100 which displays, based on the pulse signals, vehicle information including the traveling distance, and a navigation unit 200 which receives the distance data related to the traveling distances, obtained by processing the pulse signals, being outputted from the vehicle display device 100 or the pulse signals at a certain reception period to calculate the present position of the vehicle, and controls the vehicle display device 100 to display road traffic information including the display synthesized with the present position on a map in accordance with map data read from a map information memory medium 230. If the navigation unit 200 can not receive the distance data or the pulse signals within the reception period, an estimated value of a value to be received this time is obtained from the difference between a value inputted last time and a value inputted last time but one and the navigation unit 200 calculates the present position in accordance with the estimated value.
