Abstract
An automobile navigating apparatus capable of setting a detour for a route to a desired destination. A memory device stores link information about links that constitute a map. Based on the link information, a route calculating section sets a route running from a start point to a desired destination by using evaluation values assigned to the links. The route thus set is shown on a display device in a highlighted manner. At the same time, directions to the desired destination along the route are instructed verbally. When a detour switch is operated, a detour for the route is calculated by a detour calculating section. In the detour calculation, the detour calculating section lowers the evaluation value for the link concerned along the previously set route to prevent the same from being set again.
