Abstract: A movement assistance device guides a user to a meeting location for meeting a vehicle. The movement assistance device calculates a first required time until the vehicle arrives at the meeting location, and a plurality of routes from the user's current location to the meeting location. The movement assistance device calculates a second required time for the user to arrive at the meeting location from the user's current location for each route. The movement assistance device then determines the route associated with the second required time as a route via which the vehicle could be met on time when a second required time is the same as or shorter than the first required time. The movement assistance device then causes the communication device to output information that indicates the route or routes determined to be the route or routes via which the vehicle could be met on time.
