In particular, when the turning point for which guidance is to be provided is included in a traffic circle and the route turns from the traffic circle to an exit road toward an outer side thereof at the turning point, the guiding device provides travel guidance specifying how many ahead the exit road to be taken is among exit roads toward the outer side of the traffic circle. As a result, travel guidance with which a user can exit from the traffic circle through a correct exit.
