Abstract
A route processor searches for a travel route based on current-position information, destination information and traffic information with use of map information. Predicted required time to arrive at a destination from a current-position of a vehicle is calculated based on the set travel route. Predicted departure time for the vehicle to leave is calculated based on scheduled time to arrive at the destination and the predicted required time. According to departure waiting state of the vehicle, time to notify departure guidance for encouraging the departure of the vehicle is set, and the departure guidance is notified at the set time. With this configuration, departure guidance for arriving at the destination at the scheduled time without arriving at the destination too early or late can be appropriately notified
