Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit the setting of arbitrary point, as a new destination, in a navigation device in which the destination is set, by a simple operation so that the research for the route to the desired destination can be performed, and to permit the guidance of the route to the newly set destination. SOLUTION: After the arrival at the set destination and the completion of the guidance of the route, when the position of the vehicle of one's own is apart from the guided destination by a prescribed distance or more, an inquiry about the re-search is performed, in which notification about the choices for the new destination are performed. When an optional choice is selected by a user, the selected choice is set as the new destination, and the re-search for the route is performed. The guidance of the route is performed on the basis of the re-searched route. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
