Abstract
In a navigation apparatus, an acquiring unit acquires traveling state information indicating a traveling state of a mobile object. A position identifying unit identifies a current position of the mobile object based on the traveling state information and map information. The destination setting unit sets a destination. A route searching unit searches for a route based on the destination. A route guidance unit performs route guidance based on the route. A parking determining unit determines whether the mobile object is parked. If during the route guidance, the current position of the mobile object identified to be on a road within a first predetermined range from the destination is identified not to be on any road and it is determined that the mobile object is parked, a registering unit registers the most recent deviation point as an entrance point of a parking lot of the destination into a storage unit.
