  • Publication number: 20060241862
    Abstract: To provide with a navigation apparatus capable of efficient route guidance in which a date on which route guidance process is performed coincides with an available date and time, and in consideration with a stay length. The navigation apparatus in this implementation is provided with a GPS reception section, a sensor section, a map data storage section in which data such as map data is recorded in advance, and a system control section which generates design data and performs process management on the basis of the generated design data. The system control section searches routes on the basis of spot data groups related to an extracted destination, generates route data on the basis of the search results, the spot data and an input departure time, and manages route guidance on the basis of the generated route data.

  • Patent number: 6975938
    Abstract: A drive plan producing device includes a contents database for storing associated data including geographical point names for a plurality of contents, a base contents determining unit which determines base contents used in a drive plan producing process based on an input by a user, a candidate place determining unit which refers to the contents database to determine the geographical point name associated with the base contents as a candidate place of driving, and a presenting unit which presents the determined candidate place to the user. Based on the input by the user, certain contents are determined as base contents. The base contents are used as a base for the production of the drive plan. By referring to the contents database, the geographical point name associated with the base contents is obtained, and it is determined as the candidate place and presented to the user. The user can select a drive plan by selecting one of the candidate places.

  • Patent number: 6950746
    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.
