A control section, according to a map scale designated by a user via an input section, draws on its internal drawing memory, roads including its own-vehicle position obtained by a position information acquiring sectionand display elements including city centers (display elements representing a city and indicating the representative position of the city each) or facilities. If the own-vehicle position and the display elements including the city centers or facilities are displayed in isolation on the display section, the control section calculates the route from the own-vehicle position to the display elements under the condition recommended by the navigation or under the condition the user designates, and draws the route produced as a result of the route calculation on the drawing memory.
