APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATION ROUTE PLANNING

A navigation planning device (101) comprising a position specifying unit configured to receive a navigation start point (201), a navigation destination point (203) and a plurality of waypoints (205a-205e) between the navigation start point (201) and the navigation destination point (203). The plurality of waypoints is received in at least one type of order. The navigation planning device is characterized by a positional relation determination unit (119) configured to determine a positional relationship between the plurality of waypoints (205a-205e). The navigation planning device (101) further comprises an indicator display unit (121) configured to determine at least one indicator data corresponding to at least one waypoint data of the plurality of waypoints (205a-205e), based on the positional relationship between the plurality of waypoints (205a-205e), and output the at least one waypoint data and the corresponding at least one indicator data to a display.
