In a position registering apparatus, an acquiring unit acquires traveling state information indicating a traveling state of a mobile object and a position identifying unit specifies the current position of the mobile object, based on the traveling state information and map information. After the current position of the mobile object is identified to be on a road within a predetermined range from a destination set by a destination setting unit and is then identified to be at a place other than the road, if the parking determining unit determines that the mobile object is parked, a registering unit registers, into a storage unit, a deviation point from the road as an entrance point of a parking lot of the destination.

Position registering apparatus, route retrieving apparatus, position registering method, position registering program, and recording medium

An acquiring unit () acquires traveling state information indicating a traveling state of a mobile object. A position identifying unit () identifies the current position of the mobile object, based on the traveling state information and map information. If the current position of the mobile object identified to be on a road is subsequently identified not to be on any road, a registering unit () registers into a storage unit, a deviation point from the road as an entrance point to a parking lot. When a new deviation point is registered as an entrance point to the parking lot, if an entrance point in the vicinity of the new deviation point is already registered, the registering unit () determines whether the new deviation point is to be newly registered as an entrance point to the parking lot based on information about the entrance points.

Position registering apparatus, position registering method, position registering program, and recording medium

In a navigation apparatus, an acquiring unit acquires traveling state information indicating a traveling state of a mobile object. A position identifying unit identifies a current position of the mobile object based on the traveling state information and map information. The destination setting unit sets a destination. A route searching unit searches for a route based on the destination. A route guidance unit performs route guidance based on the route. A parking determining unit determines whether the mobile object is parked. If during the route guidance, the current position of the mobile object identified to be on a road within a first predetermined range from the destination is identified not to be on any road and it is determined that the mobile object is parked, a registering unit registers the most recent deviation point as an entrance point of a parking lot of the destination into a storage unit.
