Abstract

A navigation device includes a map creation unit, a display unit, and a display controller. The display unit displays, on a map created by the map creation unit, roadside target facility symbols representing facilities as navigation targets that are located along the navigation route, on-map facility symbols representing facilities that differ from the facilities as the navigation targets on the created map, and facility display switching buttons for receiving operation of switching display/non-display of the on-map facility symbols by facility category. The display controller switches the display/non-display of the on-map facility symbols in accordance with the operation received through the facility display button, and, when the received operation indicates the display of the on-map facility symbols, control the display unit to display the on-map facility symbols in a different display mode from a display mode of the roadside target facility symbols.
