1. A navigation system, comprising:
- a memory that stores traffic information; and
a controller that;
searches for a plurality of routes to a destination;
calculates, if any of the plurality of routes pass through a predetermined area, a predicted time at which a link within the predetermined area will be passed through; and
generates predicted traffic information for the link at the predicted time at which the link will be passed through based on the stored traffic information.

Abstract
A navigation system, traffic prediction method, and traffic prediction program search for a plurality of routes to a destination. The system, method, and program calculate, if any of the plurality of routes passes through a predetermined area, a predicted time at which a link within the predetermined area will be passed through. The system, method, and program generate predicted traffic information for the link at the predicted time at which the link will be passed through based on the stored traffic information.
