Abstract
A vehicle-mounted information apparatus performs route guidance of a vehicle to a destination facility according to map information by detecting the current position of the vehicle. It obtains information about the destination facility and the route thereto as acquisition information, and monitors a trouble in the destination facility and its route according to the acquisition information. If a trouble occurs in at least one of the destination facility and its route, the trouble information is displayed to ask a user whether to search for an alternative to the destination facility. If the user issues the search instruction, the vehicle-mounted information apparatus searches for an alternative to destination facility and displays it. Thus, it facilitates the search of the alternative to the destination facility by displaying the trouble information on the road map, if at least one of the destination facility and its route has a trouble.
