Abstract: In a position registering apparatus, an acquiring unit acquires traveling state information indicating a traveling state of a mobile object and a position identifying unit specifies the current position of the mobile object, based on the traveling state information and map information. After the current position of the mobile object is identified to be on a road within a predetermined range from a destination set by a destination setting unit and is then identified to be at a place other than the road, if the parking determining unit determines that the mobile object is parked, a registering unit registers, into a storage unit, a deviation point from the road as an entrance point of a parking lot of the destination.

Abstract: A position registering apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires traveling state information concerning a mobile object; a position identifying unit that identifies a current position of the mobile object based on the traveling state information and map information; a parking determining unit that determines whether the mobile object is parked when the current position is identified not be on a road; and a registering unit that registers a point of deviation from the road by the mobile object as an entrance point to a parking lot when the current position that has been identified to be on the road is identified to be not on the road and the mobile object is determined to be parked. The registering unit further registers the current position identified upon the parking determining unit determining that the mobile object is parked, as a parking lot position correlated with the entrance point.

Abstract: An navigation apparatus records a deviation point as a new search point for activating a rerouting function during a route guidance process. When the deviation point exists along or near a set route, it is predicted that a vehicle will travel away from the set route at the deviation point. When a current location is within a predetermined distance from the deviation point, the rerouting function is activated to automatically search for a new route starting from the deviation point.
