Abstract
A device selects an area to be introduced, from among a plurality of areas. The area is introduced to a user moving along a given route. The device includes a candidate selector, a time estimator, and an area determiner. The candidate selector selects a candidate area for an area to be introduced. The candidate area is adjacent to or neighboring a road on the given route. The time estimator estimates a transit time for transiting the candidate area. The area determiner determines the candidate area as an area to be introduced, in accordance with the transit time and a given reference time.
