Abstract
A GPS-equipped electronic camera takes images of destinations. A memory card set to the electronic camera stores image files to which shooting position data is added. The shooting position data represents a position where shooting has been performed. The memory card is set to a car navigation equipment. A shooting-position-data extracting portion extracts the shooting position data from the image file corresponding to the destination. A route searching portion searches a route leading from a present location to the destination on the basis of the extracted shooting position data, road map data stored in a storage portion, and present location data obtained by a GPS antenna and a present-location-data calculator. Since it is unnecessary to input an address and a phone number of the destination, setting the destination is easily performed.
