1. A navigation apparatus comprising:
- a departure point data acquiring device which acquires departure point data including at least position data on the departure point of a movable body;
a destination data storage device which stores multiple pieces of destination data indicating destinations to be visited in such a manner that the destination data will be associated with characteristic information indicating the characteristics of each destination;
a registration device which registers destination conditions upon visiting each destination;
a setting device which sets the order of visiting priority of the stored destination data on each destination based on the characteristic information and the registered destination conditions;
a presentation device which presents the destination data based on the order of priority set out above;
a selection device which selects a destination among the presented destination data;
a map data storage device which stores map data;
a creation device which creates route data from the departure point to the destination based on the departure point data, the registered destination conditions, the selected destination, and the map data; and
a route guiding device which provides route guidance from the departure point to the destination based on the created route data.

10. A navigation method comprising:
-
a departure point data acquiring process which acquires departure point data including at least position data on the departure point of a movable body;
a destination data acquiring process which acquires multiple pieces of destination data that are stored in a destination data storage device and that indicates destinations to be visited together with characteristic information indicating the characteristics of each destination;
a registration process which registers destination conditions upon visiting each destination;
a setting process which sets the order of visiting priority of the stored destination data on each destination based on the characteristic information and the registered destination conditions;
a presentation process which presents the destination data based on the order of priority set out above;
a selection process which selects a destination from among the presented destination data;
a creation process which creates route data from the departure point to the destination based on the departure point data, the registered destination conditions, the selected destination, and map data stored in a map data storage device; and

11. A computer-readable recording medium on which a route data creation program for creating route data relating to route guidance on a computer is recorded so as to be readable through the computer, wherein the route data creation program instructs the computer to function as:
-
a departure point data acquiring device which acquires departure point data including at least position data on the departure point of a movable body;
a destination data acquiring device which acquires multiple pieces of destination data stored in a destination data storage device and indicating destinations to be visited together with characteristic information indicating the characteristics of each destination;
a setting device which sets the order of visiting priority of the stored destination data on each destination based on the characteristic information and destination conditions registered by a registration device upon visiting the destination;
a presentation device which presents the destination data based on the order of priority set out above;
a creation device which creates route data from the departure point to a destination based on the departure point data, the registered destination conditions, a destination selected from among the presented destination data, and map data stored in a map data storage device; and
a route guiding device which provides route guidance from the departure point to the destination based on the created route data.

12. A server in a navigation system comprising:
-
a first receiving device which receives, from a terminal, departure point data including at least position data on the departure point of a movable body in which the terminal is mounted, and destination conditions upon visiting each destination;
a destination data storage device which stores multiple pieces of destination data indicating destinations to be visited in such a manner that the destination data will be associated with characteristic information indicating the characteristics of each destination;
a setting device which sets the order of visiting priority of the stored destination data on each destination based on the characteristic information and the registered destination conditions;
a sending device which sends the destination data to the terminal so that the destination data will be presented on the terminal in order of priority set out above;
a map data storage device which stores map data;
a second receiving device which receives, from the terminal, an instruction to select a destination from among the presented destination data;
a creation device which creates route data from the departure point to the destination based on the departure point data, the registered destination conditions, and the selected destination received by said receiving devices, and the map data; and
a route guiding device which provides route guidance from the departure point to the destination based on the created route data.
