1. A route comparison device comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
acquire location information of a starting point and a goal point;
search for a route between the starting point and the goal point; and
compare shape data of a found route obtained by the search and shape data of a reference route, wherein the reference route is a most searched route among routes searched by a plurality of route search devices.

Abstract
Provided is a route comparison device including a point information acquisition unit for acquiring location information of a starting point and a goal point, a reference route acquisition unit for acquiring shape data of a reference route between the starting point and the goal point, a route search unit for searching for a route between the starting point and the goal point, and a degree-of-matching calculation unit for calculating, by comparing shape data of a found route which has been found by the route search unit and the shape data of the reference route, a degree of matching indicating a degree of correspondence between the routes.

12. A route comparison device comprising:
circuitry configured to; acquire location information of a starting point and a goal point; acquire shape data of two routes between the starting point and the goal point; and calculate, by comparing the shape data of the two acquired routes, a degree of matching indicating a degree of correspondence between the two routes, wherein the degree of matching is a ratio of an area of a portion where the shape data of the two acquired routes overlap and entire area of one of the two acquired routes. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A route comparison method comprising:
-
acquiring location information of a starting point and a goal point; acquiring shape data of a reference route between the starting point and the goal point; searching for a route between the starting point and the goal point; and calculating via a processor, by comparing shape data of a found route which has been found by the searching and the shape data of the reference route, a degree of matching indicating a degree of correspondence between the routes, wherein the reference route is a most searched route among routes searched by a plurality of route search devices.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions thereon that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
-
acquiring location information of a starting point and a goal point; acquiring shape data of a reference route between the starting point and the goal point; searching for a route between the starting point and the goal point; and calculating, by comparing shape data of a found route which has been found by the searching and the shape data of the reference route, a degree of matching indicating a degree of correspondence between the routes, wherein the reference route is a most searched route among routes searched by a plurality of route search devices.
