Abstract
A travel distance estimating apparatus () estimates a travel distance of a moving body in a given section through which the moving body travels (hereinafter referred to as a 'travel interval'). A current position acquiring unit () acquires the current position of the moving body. A variable acquiring unit () acquires information related to the speed of the moving body in the travel interval. An estimating unit () estimates based on a consumed energy estimating equation, energy consumption and a travelable distance for travel through the travel interval. A correcting unit () corrects information related to the moving body and used as variables of the consumed energy estimating equation. A storage unit () stores information related to roads associated with a travel history of the moving body. A display unit () displays map data including information related to travelable distance calculated by the estimating unit ().
