Abstract: A navigation system is provided which dynamically changes a destination so as to meet a user's objective, based on various changes in situation which occur during traveling, and indicates a changed destination to the user. An objective representing an action of a user is recognized based on information inputted by the user (S201). A place at which the recognized objective can be achieved is set as a destination (S203). Guidance is performed so as to reach the destination having been set (S204). When it is determined, during traveling based on the guidance, that the objective is difficult to achieve, a substitute place at which the objective can be achieved is set as a destination (S206 to S209).

Abstract: A navigation system sets a destination of navigation equipment by forwarding spot information managed by a server to the navigation equipment via a mobile terminal. The server includes write information accepting unit accepting write information from a plurality of users via a network, spot information generating unit generating the spot information based on the write information, spot information storage unit stored with the generated spot information, extracting unit extracting predetermined spot information in response to a search request, and transmitting unit transmitting the spot information to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes receiving unit receiving the predetermined spot information, terminal display unit displaying the predetermined spot information, and forwarding unit forwarding the predetermined spot information to the navigation equipment. The navigation equipment includes navigation control unit setting the destination from the predetermined spot information.

Abstract: A navigation control device, which is mounted in navigation equipment searching for a route and sets a destination from plural pieces of position information forwarded, includes: accepting portion accepting the plural pieces of position information forwarded from the mobile terminal; present position information acquiring portion acquiring present position information about a present position of the navigation equipment; sequencing portion comparing the present position information acquired by the present position information acquiring portion with the plural pieces of position information accepted by the accepting portion, and sequencing the plural pieces of position information on the basis of a distance from the present position to a destination; and destination setting portion setting the destination on the basis of the position information sequenced by the sequencing portion.

Abstract: A method of preparing a magnetic recording medium, the surface of which has a very smooth magnetic layer. Magnetic paint is coated on a non-magnetic base, which is then passed between calender rolls which comprise a polyurethane roll and a steel roll heated between approximately 40.degree. C. and 200.degree. C. The hardness of the polyurethane roll is greater than approximately 70.degree. in Shore D, and the pressure between the rolls is between approximately 50 Kg/cm and 500 Kg/cm.
