In a navigation devicea danger spot identification unitidentifies a jump-out danger spot on the basis of past information which is acquired by a past information acquisition unitand indicates a situation of a jump-out accident in the past, and surrounding information which is acquired by a surrounding information acquisition unitand indicates a surrounding situation of a vehicle. Here, the past information includes surrounding facility identification information (information related to an identification planimetric feature) used for identifying a jump-out danger spot and information related to a jump-out object.
