The systems, methods, and programs provide lane guidance to lead the vehicle into the recommended lane. The systems, methods, and programs receive a current position of the vehicle and determine a movement direction of the vehicle, based on the received current position and the recommended lane. The systems, methods, and programs determine whether to provide lane guidance based on the movement direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: It is possible to display a lane guide map that takes into consideration connections between each of the lanes (m1 to m8) and reduction in the visibility of the lane guide map is prevented. The invention includes a current position detecting unit; a lane list setting processing means that produces a lane list (LsI 1) that takes into consideration connections between each of the lanes for lane groups (LkI 1 to LkI 3) in road links that are present in a lane list display section; a rendering range determination processing means that determines whether or not the number of lanes in the lane list (LsI 1) is larger than the number of lanes that has been set in a display unit (35); and a display range adjustment processing means that selects predetermined lanes in the lane list (LsI 1) and displays only the selected lanes. Lanes that have a low display necessity can be removed.

Abstract: A route guidance system includes a current position detection section, a route search section, and a guidance section. The guidance section includes a branch computation section computes the number of branches between a host vehicle location and a guidance location along a specified route. A point guidance section executes route guidance based on the computed number of the branches. The number of branches between the host vehicle location and the guidance location is computed, and the route guidance is executed based on the computed number of the branches, so it is possible to recognize the guidance location simply by counting the number of the branches, regardless of the number of traffic signals that exist between the host vehicle location and the guidance location.

Abstract: Navigation systems, methods and programs detect the current location of a vehicle and search a route to a destination based on the current location. The systems, methods, and programs set a guidance intersection based on the searched route, set a route guidance point at a predetermined point before the guidance intersection, and provide route guidance through the guidance intersection when the vehicle reaches the route guidance point. The systems, methods, and programs determine whether the guidance intersection is a guidance intersection where lane planning can be readily performed by a user, even if lane guidance is not performed by the controller. The systems, methods, and programs prevent lane guidance at the predetermined route guidance point from being performed if it is determined that lane planning can be readily performed by the user at the guidance intersection.

Abstract: Route guidance systems, methods, and programs detect a current position of a vehicle and search for a route to a destination on the basis of the vehicle position. The systems, methods, and programs set a guidance point at a predetermined distance before a target point on the searched route. If a guidance condition is met, the systems, methods, and programs provide route guidance about the target point when the vehicle reaches the guidance point, the guidance condition being met on the basis of the presence or absence of traffic lights at each of at least one intersection between the guidance point and the target point. If the guidance condition is met, the systems, methods, and programs output route guidance, the content of the route guidance being preset based on the guidance condition.

Abstract: Vehicle operation diagnosis devices, methods, and programs diagnose a driver's vehicle operation determine whether to provide advice relating to the vehicle operation if a result of the diagnosis has met a predetermined provisioning condition. If the predetermined provisioning condition is met, the devices, methods, and programs provide the advice. The devices, methods, and programs compare the driver's vehicle operation before the advice was provided with the vehicle operation of the driver after the advice was provided. The devices, methods, and programs determine whether to provide the advice based on a comparison of the driver's vehicle operation before the advice was provided with the vehicle operation of the driver after the advice was provided.

Abstract: A device that enables a vehicle to be moved when a disaster occurs includes a forced engine start unit and a constraint unit. When it is detected that the vehicle has stopped after a disaster detection signal is received, the position where the vehicle has stopped is stored. Thereafter, the forced engine start unit enables the engine of the vehicle to be started by a start switch, without using an ignition key. The constraint unit restricts the moving of the vehicle by the forced engine start unit.

Abstract: Navigation systems, servers, methods, and programs for a vehicle store a plurality of nodes representing branch points and guide the vehicle along a travel route. The systems, servers, methods, and programs detect, at a branch point where the travel route branches off into another route, that the vehicle abandoned advancing along the travel route after trying to advance, and store a result of the detection in the memory.

Abstract: Information guidance systems, methods, and programs search for a route from a departure point to a destination and identify a facility used for performing guidance for a guidance location on the searched route.

When the name has been changed, the systems, methods, and programs perform guidance notifying that the name has been changed.

Abstract: Navigation apparatuses, methods, and programs store plural types of speech guidance information, each of the plural types of speech guidance having an indication of success and an assigned priority level. The apparatuses, methods, and programs identify a guidance branch point along the route and provide speech guidance for the guidance branch point according to one of the plural types of speech guidance. The apparatuses, methods, and programs determine whether the vehicle traveled through the guidance branch point. If the vehicle traveled through the guidance branch point, the apparatuses, methods, and programs increase the indication of success for the provided type of speech guidance information. However, if the vehicle did not travel through the guidance branch point, the apparatuses, methods, and programs decrease the indication of success for the provided type of speech guidance information.

Abstract: When a first guidance reissue request is placed following voice guidance, it is likely that a driver has failed to hear the voice guidance and, therefore, guidance having a content identical to the initial guidance is issued (only the distance is modified). Beginning with a second guidance reissue request, on the other hand, it is likely that the driver desires different information, and therefore the guidance is reissued after modifying its content, e.g. an additional guidance item is modified while the content of the basic guidance item remains the same. The additional guidance may be modified by modifying the content of the item or by adding items.
