ABSTRACT:
A navigation device and the like capable of harmonizing a navigation route for guiding a mobile body set on the basis of a support route search result by a navigation server and a navigation route for also guiding the mobile body set independently of the navigation route, from a view point of guiding the mobile body smoothly. In the case where the second navigation route r2is set in the condition where the first navigation route r1is set, the second navigation route r2is set and output so as to include a part dr1of the first navigation route r1which takes a position departing from the current position ptof the automobile2by a first distance d1. Therefore, even in the case where the second navigation route r2is set and output at the navigation device200during the time when the automobile2is traveling according to the first navigation route r1output at the navigation device200, it is possible to guide the automobile2according to the original first navigation route r1until the position departing from the current position ptof the automobile2by the first distance d1. Therefore, it becomes possible to guide the automobile2smoothly to the destination position p2, without forcing the automobile2to perform abrupt behavior change.
