Abstract:
1. A navigation system adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising: a setting screen displaying portion that displays a setting screen for setting information related to search condition parameters that numerically represent conditions desired by the user, wherein the search condition parameters consist of a first search condition parameter and a second search condition parameter, wherein the setting screen is formed of a two-dimensional coordinate system with the first search condition parameter assigned to a vertical axis and the second search condition parameter assigned to a horizontal axis; a parameter obtaining portion that sets both of the search condition parameters based on a single input operation by the user that selects one or more coordinate positions on the two-dimensional coordinate system that is made via an input portion, wherein the single input operation by the user depends on the search condition parameters that numerically represent the conditions desired by the user; and an information searching portion that searches for driving route or facility information based on the two search condition parameters set by the parameter obtaining portion.
