The operation device includes a wide route data generation unit that generates a wide route data according to which the main body is moved from a first specified location to a second specified location, a determination unit that determines a location and a posture of a reference object, an approaching route data generation unit that generates an approaching route data according to which the main body is moved from the second specified location to a target location, and a route data switching unit that switches traveling route from the wide rote data to the approaching route data after the approaching route data is generated. The approaching route data generation unit generates the approaching route data while the main body is traveling according to the generated wide route data.
