Abstract:
The present invention makes the user easily search the nearest point which is useful for the user without making the user perform a complicated operation. The present invention provides a navigation device that obtains a current position based on information from GPS satellites, and guides a travel path from the current position to the destination on a map image which includes a display unit that displays the map image, a search unit that searches a nearest point existing around a vehicle position on the map image, a search subject range determination unit that, when a search subject area setting frame in searching the nearest point is specified by a user, determines the search subject area setting frame as a search subject range in searching by the search unit.
