Patent Images
1. A route guidance device for a vehicle, comprising:
- an outputting device for outputting information by using at least one of an image and a sound;
a position detection device for detecting a current position of the vehicle;
a map data storage device for storing map data;
a parking space storage device for storing (i) inputted information on a parking space, which is to be used for visiting a target point, and (ii) the target point, both of which are associated to each other; and
a control unit for calculating using the map data a route from the detected current position to the parking space, and for causing the output device to output information on the calculated route.

Abstract
A control circuit in a navigation device mounted in a vehicle detects a current position of the vehicle using a position detector when a target point is specified. The control circuit then determines whether information on a parking space corresponding to the specified target point is inputted or not. When the information is inputted, the control circuit stores the parking space indicated in the information as a parking space corresponding to the target point. The control circuit then calculates routes from the current position to the parking space and from the parking space to the target point to cause a display device to display the calculated routes.

9. A route guidance device for a vehicle, comprising:
-
an outputting device for outputting information by using at least one of an image and a sound;
a position detection device for detecting a current position of the vehicle;
a map data storage device for storing map data;
an inputting device for inputting information on a target point;
an area detection device for detecting an area in which the vehicle is parked;
a control unit for defining the detected area as a parking space when the area is within a predetermined distance from the target point; and
a parking space storage device for storing (i) information on the parking space and (ii) the target point, both of which are associated with each other, wherein when information on a certain target point is inputted by the inputting device, the control unit searches the parking space storage device for information on a parking space associated to the certain target point, and when the information associated to the certain target point is found, the control unit calculates a route from a current position detected by the position detection device to a parking space corresponding to the found information associated to the certain target point. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
