Abstract
A facility searching device includes a road selecting unit for selecting an arbitrary road from road data stored in a storage unit, and a road facility searching unit for searching for facilities located along the road selected by the road selection unit. Therefore, the facility searching device can search for facilities located along an arbitrary road by allowing users to select the arbitrary road regardless of whether or not a route is provided.
