Abstract
A positional change calculation processing unit and a positioning signal processing unit obtain the current position. Network information indicating information about a route at the time of moving from one point to another point is stored in a storage unit. A navigation processing unit searches for the route to a destination point by using the network information. When the moving route based on the position obtained by the positional change calculation processing unit and the positioning signal processing unit is different from the searched route then the route is re-searched in the search condition according to the moving route. When the user intends to move on a route different from the searched route, the search condition is changed according to the moving route and the route is researched according to the intention of the user and the user is automatically guided.
