Abstract
A guidance system includes a vehicle-mounted apparatus. A sensor-signal input unit inputs a vehicle-sensor signal for acquiring a vehicle status. A determining unit determines a movement of the vehicle on the basis of the vehicle-sensor signal inputted from the sensor-signal input unit. A guidance-information acquiring unit acquires guidance information from an external apparatus through a communication apparatus mounted on the vehicle. An information selecting unit selects guidance information acquired by the guidance-information acquiring unit depending upon a vehicle movement determined by the determining unit. An output unit outputs guidance information selected by the information selecting unit.
