With respect to those of the recorded destinations conforming to the situation in which a predetermined trigger signal is supplied, the control circuit carries out the following processing: it computes priorities based on the numbers of visits classified by items of the situation; and it presents to the user information for choosing a destination of his/her subsequent driving by displaying it on a display unit based on the levels of the computed priorities.
