Abstract:
A navigation method for a navigating apparatus of a moving device, including obtaining weight information that includes a plurality of weight coefficients and storing the weight information, detecting one or a plurality of paths through which the moving device is capable of moving, acquiring information regarding a position of a destination with respect to the moving device as destination positional information, acquiring information regarding characteristics of topography in surroundings of the moving device as topographical characteristics information, calculating worth correlation information regarding the one or plurality of detected paths to the destination using the acquired destination positional information, the acquired topographical characteristics information and the stored weight information, and estimating a worth score of each of the one or plurality of paths to the destination based on the calculated worth correlation information.
