1. An information providing system comprising:
- a route calculating portion that calculates a route to a destination set by a user of a first moving object;
an imaging control portion that determines whether or not a second moving object is traveling on a road on the route to the destination and controls the second moving object to capture image information of the road on the route to the destination when it is determined that the second moving object is traveling on the road on the route to the destination;
an obtaining portion that obtains the image information captured by the second moving object traveling on a the road on the route to the destination;
an information generating portion that generates additional information related to the image information based on at least a pedestrian within the obtained image information; and
an information providing portion that provides the obtained image information and the additional information related to the image information, whereinthe additional information is information related to availability of parking for the first moving object at an imaging location of the image information and is indicated by a level of drivability chosen from a plurality of levels of drivability; and
when the route calculating portion calculates a plurality of routes to the destination, the information providing portion provides the image information of the road on the route and the additional information, for each of the plurality of routes to the destination.

9. An information providing method comprising:
-
calculating a route to a destination set by a user of a first moving object; determining whether or not a second moving object is traveling on a road on the route to the destination; controlling the second moving object to capture image information of the road on the route to the destination when it is determined that the second moving object is traveling on the road on the route to the destination; obtaining the image information captured by the second moving object traveling on the road on the route to the destination; generating additional information related to the image information based on the obtained image information; and providing the obtained image information and the additional information related to the image information, wherein; the additional information is information related to availability of parking for the first moving object at an imaging location of the image information and is indicated by a level of drivability chosen from a plurality of levels of drivability; and when a plurality of routes to the destination are calculated, the image information of the road on the route and the additional information are provided for each of the plurality of routes to the destination.
