Abstract

Navigation devices, methods, and programs set a destination, find an on-street parking zone that is in the vicinity of the destination, and find a route, by modifying a search cost for a road, that will arrive at the destination by way of a road having the on-street parking zone. The devices, methods, and programs acquire parking information that pertains to the on-street parking zone and find the route by modifying the search cost based on the parking information. The devices, methods, and programs find the route when the vehicle has reached a specified distance from the destination.
