An interactive route guide device capable of providing an appropriate amount of information with an appropriate timing in accordance with a user's desire. In the interactive route guide device, a storage device stores at least one table which defines a type of guide information to be provided for a route from a departure point to a destination point. An arithmetic processing unit generates the guide information according to the table in the storage device, and an output device outputs the generated guide information. The user uses an input device to input a guide request. The arithmetic processing unit manages at least a content of the inputted guide request and the number of times the guide request is inputted, and edits the table stored in the storage device in accordance with the content of the inputted guide request and the number of times the guide request is inputted.
