Abstract:
1. A guiding route generating device comprising: storage means for storing a route generated based on specification of a position as a guiding route to be used for route guidance; display means for displaying on a screen the guiding route stored in the storage means with roads in the periphery of the guiding route; specified road specifying means for specifying a predetermined road among the roads displayed with the guiding routes as a specified pass-through road based on a user's operation tracing the surface of the screen by the user's finger; intersection specifying means for specifying the presence and the number of intersections of the specified pass-through road and the guiding route stored in the storage means; user-specified route generating means for generating two routes between the specified pass-through road and the guiding route and generating a user-specified route which is the specified pass-through road extended with the generated two routes, when the intersection specifying means specifies that there is no intersection, and generating a route between the specified pass-through road and the guiding route and generating a user-specified route which is the specified pass-through road extended with the generated route, when the intersection specifying means specifies only one of the intersections; updated guiding route generating means for generating an updated guiding route by connecting the user-specified route with the guiding route stored in the storage means at their intersections.
