Abstract: The present disclosure makes it possible to, when a user misses his way while moving by a vehicle, guide the user to a destination. An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure manages a communication line for a telephone conversation between a user who is driving a vehicle and an operator who makes a telephone conversation with the user. When a current location of the vehicle is within a predetermined range from a destination of the user, the information processing apparatus executes a predetermined determination process for determining whether predetermined condition by which the user can be judged to miss his way is met. If judging that the predetermined condition is met in the predetermined determination process, the information processing apparatus notifies the operator to perform route guidance by a telephone conversation for the user.
