Abstract
An object is to provide a navigation apparatus capable of outputting geographic information without depending on a display. When determining at step ST11 that a destination is assigned, the navigation apparatus interprets geography of an area around the assigned destination at step ST12, and generates geographic information for indicating the geography of the area around the destination as a voice output. Thereafter, the navigation apparatus outputs the voice output indicating the inputted geographic information through a loudspeaker.
