Abstract:
1. A data processing apparatus to travel, the apparatus comprising: an acquisition section configured to acquire map data; a route storage section configured to store a route in a map indicated by the acquired map data; a travel locus specification section configured to specify a travel locus, which is generated when traveling, in a map indicated by the acquired map data; a route storage control section configured to (i) cause the travel locus specification section to specify a non-road region travel locus generated when traveling a non-road region being a region excluding roads included in a map indicated by the acquired map data, and (ii) store in the route storage section a non-road region route, which corresponds to the specified non-road region travel locus; a new road determination section configured to perform a new road determination, which determines whether the non-road region route stored in the route storage section is a route indicating a new road being a road, which has not been registered in the map data; a process execution section configured to execute a predetermined process based on the non-road region route, which is determined to be the route indicating the new road; and at least two accuracy degree specification sections of a first accuracy degree specification section, a second accuracy degree specification section, and a third accuracy degree specification section, wherein the new road determination section is further configured to perform the new road determination, with respect to the non-road region route stored in the route storage section, based on the accuracy degrees specified by the at least two accuracy degree specification sections.
