Abstract
Route setting systems, methods, and programs set a guide route from a departure location to a destination location, display the set guide route on a display superimposed on a map image, receive an operation by a user designating a location on the displayed map image, acquire a road status of a road in the vicinity of the designated location, and select a pass-through road on the basis of the acquired road status. The pass-through road is a road by which the guide route will pass from the road in the vicinity of the designated location. The systems methods, and programs change the set guide route to a route that leads from the departure location to the destination location by way of the selected pass-through road.
