1. A display device for a vehicle, the display device comprising:
a display unit; and
a controller configured to activate a navigation mode for guidance to a destination and to control the display unit to display a virtual item having a specific display angle, indicating a driving direction to which to change when the driving direction needs to be changed within a preset distance based on road information provided in the navigation mode during travel of the vehicle to the destination,
wherein, when an angle of the driving direction to which to change is smaller than a preset minimum angle and when the display angle of the virtual item is larger than the preset minimum angle, the controller controls the display unit to change the display angle of the virtual item to the preset minimum angle and to display the virtual item having the changed display angle, and
wherein the controller changes a size of the virtual item based on a distance between the vehicle and a point at which the driving direction needs to be changed.
