ABSTRACT:
A navigation device, method, and program provides output information on service facilities that exist on a road such as an expressway. A display provides a map in a general road display mode that includes facilities such as general roads, family restaurants, and convenience stores, and also can display a highway mode. The highway mode can be a predetermined expressway display mode which displays expressways and facilities on the expressways, and combines a single map focusing mainly on expressways so that the expressways can be easily recognized along with vehicle moving images. A searching and outputting portion searches for a predetermined number of facility information items of a desired type of element facility from the road map data in accordance with a provided predetermined operation, and outputs the information items when the present location is in the expressway display mode, and an element facility exists ahead on the expressway.
