Abstract
A method of providing destination information includes storing route information in which location information identifying locations, coordinate points information, and information of locations adjacent to the locations are associated with each other; storing probability information in which current locations, destinations, and probabilities of moving from the current locations to the corresponding destinations are associated with each other; receiving information indicating a current position of a terminal apparatus; determining a current location corresponding to the current position; determining one or more first destination candidates based on the probability information; determining one or more second destination candidates among the one or more first destination candidates, when a next destination is not uniquely identifiable; determining a nearby location indicating a location adjacent to each second destination candidate and the current location; and determining the next destination among the one or more second destination candidates, by assuming the nearby location as the current location.
