1. A vehicle-installed navigation device comprising:
- a position detection unit for detecting a current position of a vehicle;
a map data storage unit for storing map data;
a route search unit for searching for a guidance route, which is a route to a set destination, on the basis of the map data stored in the map data storage unit; and
an arrival determination unit for determining whether or not the vehicle has reached a predetermined range from the destination on the basis of the current position of the vehicle detected by the position detection unit, wherein,when a request is issued to search for the guidance route again after the arrival determination unit has determined that the vehicle has reached the predetermined range, the route search unit searches for the guidance route again to obtain a route that does not include at least a part of a road constituting the guidance route within the predetermined range.

Abstract
First, a determination is made as to whether or not an instruction to search for a route again has been issued. When it is determined that an instruction to search for the route again has been issued, a determination is made as to whether or not a destination arrival determination has been made. When a vehicle has reached an arrival road constituting a guidance route within a predetermined range from the destination, it is determined that the destination arrival determination has been made, and the guidance route is searched for again after increasing a road cost that takes into account an advancement direction in relation to the arrival road located in the vicinity of the destination of the set guidance route, whereupon the processing is terminated. As a result, the newly formed guidance route obtained as a result of the new search does not include at least a part of the road constituting the guidance route within the predetermined range from the destination, and therefore, a new guidance route according to which the destination can be reached along a different route to the previous route is obtained.
