Problems solved by technology

Therefore, even if an area with a widely used name that is not an official name is set as a destination, such as "Odaiba" or "Chinatown" mentioned above, it cannot be searched using these names.
[0005] Of course, it is considered to add informal names such as regional common names and common names to the storage mechanism for retrieving data on facilities or places, but at this time, a storage mechanism with a large storage capacity is required, and it is generally used as A storage medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM used by a storage institution whose storage capacity is insufficient
[0006] In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional navigation device, even if the name of the area is an official name, it cannot be appropriately set as a destination for an area that has spread to a relatively wide range.
For example, when an operator drives to an area where commercial facilities, entertainment facilities, and eating facilities are concentrated, parks at an appropriate parking lot, and wants to walk in the above area, search for facilities and locations including the above area name by using the above area name etc. can be displayed on the display screen as the search results, but the region as a whole cannot be displayed on the display screen as the search results

Abstract

A navigation apparatus, capable of searching for a destination within an area having an informal name, includes an input unit for inputting an area name and a controller. The controller searches for one or more business places having a name which includes the input area name, generates at least one area-based group of the searched for one or more business places, and displays an area corresponding to one of the at least one area-based groups on a display.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a navigation device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a navigation device installed in a vehicle such as an automobile searches for the optimal route from the current position of the vehicle to a set destination based on road map data, and displays it on a display unit. In this way, the operator can grasp the appropriate route to the destination. [0003] Generally, when setting a destination, the operator operates an input device such as a remote control device or a touch panel to input the name and address of the destination (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). At this time, the navigation device has a search function to search for facilities such as restaurants, amusement parks, and department stores based on the input name and address, and also for places such as intersections and public buildings, and the search results are displayed on the display screen. Furthermore, the operator selects the ...
