摘要

To provide with a navigation apparatus capable of efficient route guidance in which a date on which route guidance process is performed coincides with an available date and time, and in consideration with a stay length. The navigation apparatus in this implementation is provided with a GPS reception section, a sensor section, a map data storage section in which data such as map data is recorded in advance, and a system control section which generates design data and performs process management on the basis of the generated design data. The system control section searches routes on the basis of spot data groups related to an extracted destination, generates route data on the basis of the search results, the spot data and an input departure time, and manages route guidance on the basis of the generated route data.
