  • Patent number: 9267802
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a navigation technology capable of enhancing convenience for a user in the cancellation of the designation of an interchange on a guide route. In order to achieve the object, a navigation device of the present invention includes: a route guide unit capable of presenting a guide route; and a re-routing unit that cancels the designation of an interchange based on detection of a predetermined condition including at least one of a first condition, a second condition and a third condition, and performs re-routing for the guide route. Then, the first condition is a predetermined number of re-routings on a general road, the second condition is entrance to the expressway from an interchange different from the designated entrance interchange, and the third condition is entrance to the general road from an interchange located before the designated exit interchange in a traveling direction.
