NAVIGATION DEVICE, NAVIGATION METHOD AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A navigation device comprising:
- a position information acquisition section which acquires position information of a current position;
a final destination setting section which sets a final destination;
a stop-off genre setting section which sets a genre of a facility to be stopped at before arriving at the final destination;
a stop-off point selection section which selects a stop-off point from among facilities included in the genre set by the stop-off genre setting section based on a route from the current position to the final destination;
a route search section which searches for the route from the current position to the final destination and a route from the current position to the stop-off point; and
a route guidance section which performs notification of the route to the stop-off point at a branch point between the route to the final destination and the route to the stop-off point while showing the route to the final destination, when detecting that the position information of the current position acquired by the position information acquisition section enters the route to the stop-off point from the branch point, switches a guidance destination to the stop-off point and shows the route to the stop-off point, and when detecting arrival at the stop-off point based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition section, switches the guidance destination to the final destination.

Abstract
There is provided a navigation device including a position information acquisition section which acquires a current position, a final destination setting section which sets a final destination, a stop-off genre setting section which sets a genre of a facility to be stopped at, a stop-off point selection section which selects a stop-off point based on a route to the final destination, and a route guidance section which performs notification of a route to the stop-off point at a branch point between the route to the final destination and the route to the stop-off point, shows a route to the stop-off point when entering the route to the stop-off point from the branch point, and switches a guidance destination to the final destination when arriving at the stop-off point.

5. A navigation method, which is realized by causing arithmetic processing means of a navigation device to execute predetermined procedures, the procedures comprising the steps of:
-
setting a final destination; setting a genre of a facility to be stopped at before arriving at the final destination; searching for a route from a current position to the final destination; selecting a stop-off point from among facilities included in the genre based on the searched route to the final destination; searching for a route from a current position to the selected stop-off point; showing the route to the final destination; performing notification of a branch point between the route to the final destination and the route to the stop-off point; switching a guidance destination to the stop-off point and showing the route to the stop-off point when detecting that a current position enters the route to the stop-off point from the branch point; and switching the guidance destination to the final destination when detecting arrival at the stop-off point based on position information of a current position.

6. A program for causing a computer to function as a navigation device which includes
a position information acquisition section which acquires position information of a current position, a final destination setting section which sets a final destination, a stop-off genre setting section which sets a genre of a facility to be stopped at before arriving at the final destination, a stop-off point selection section which selects a stop-off point from among facilities included in the genre set by the stop-off genre setting section based on a route from the current position to the final destination, a route search section which searches for the route from the current position to the final destination and a route from the current position to the stop-off point, and a route guidance section which performs notification of the route to the stop-off point at a branch point between the route to the final destination and the route to the stop-off point while showing the route to the final destination, when detecting that the position information of the current position acquired by the position information acquisition section enters the route to the stop-off point from the branch point, switches a guidance destination to the stop-off point and shows the route to the stop-off point, and when detecting arrival at the stop-off point based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition section, switches the guidance destination to the final destination.
