Apparatus for compensating position of navigation system and method thereof

The invention is disclosed a position correction apparatus and method of the navigation device. Position correcting device of the navigation apparatus of the present invention, position measurement unit for measuring the position of the vehicle; Map data storage unit that stores map information for guiding a traveling route to navigate the traveling route and the navigation; Route storage unit for storing the map by matching the traveling route a vehicle is traveling information; And based on the position information of the vehicle measured by position measurement unit generates a read and a travel pattern shape of the running path is within a previously running set distance and then calculating the current position from the route storage unit, and the current position from the map data storage unit navigate to the road within a set radius from to generate the candidate roads for map matching, performing map matching a shape pattern for the travel pattern shape as that of the candidate road and is characterized in that a control unit for correcting the current location .
