Abstract
An object of the present information is to search for a route taking into account the charging times in the charging stations. When an electric automobile provided with a battery cannot reach a second point from a first point without the battery being charged in a charging station halfway, a route-search processing section specifies one or two or more charging stations, which the electric automobile is to pass through in order to reach the second point from the first point in a shorter time including a charging time in each of the charging stations and moving times among the charging stations, and derives a route for reaching the second point from the first point passing through the specified charging stations.
