Abstract: A program recording device includes a route searching unit (101) that searches for a route to a destination based on map information, a determining unit (102) that determines a program to be recorded based on the information concerning the destination or information concerning the route that is searched for by the route searching unit (101), and a recording unit (103) that records the program that is determined by the determining unit (102). Thus, a program that is related to activities of a user can be recorded without requiring a complicated operation such as advance designation of a broadcast date, a broadcast time, a broadcast channel of a program wished to be recorded, or a keyword.
