Claims

A communication unit for communicating information about the weather;
Image processing means for reading map data and performing image processing;
A display unit for displaying an image generated by the image processing means,
The information on the weather consists of the name of the weather and the effective range of the information on the weather,
The image processing means uses the information about the weather acquired by the communication unit to create a map image in which the information about the weather is superimposed on a map,
The navigation device, wherein the display unit displays the map image.

Information on the weather acquired by the communication unit is further,
The navigation apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an effective time or an effective period of information related to the weather.

Furthermore, a user has destination input means for inputting the destination position as destination position information,
The image processing means extracts the information including the destination position information from the information on the weather acquired by the communication unit, and creates a map image in which the information on the weather is superimposed on the map data. The navigation device according to claim 2, wherein:

Furthermore, a destination route information calculation means is provided,
The destination route calculation means calculates a route for arriving at the destination inputted as the destination location information using the destination location information and an estimated arrival time assumed to arrive at the destination by the route. And
The image processing means includes the destination position information from the information on the weather acquired by the communication unit, and the estimated arrival time is an effective time of the information on the weather or included in an effective period The navigation apparatus according to claim 3, wherein a map image in which information about the weather extracted in the map data is superimposed and displayed is created.

Furthermore, it comprises an arrival time input means for the user to input an arbitrary time as an expected arrival time,
The image processing means includes the destination position information from information on weather acquired by the communication unit, and whether the expected arrival time input from the arrival time input is an effective time of the information on weather, 4. The navigation apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising: extracting a map included in an effective period, and creating a map image in which information relating to the weather extracted in the map data is superimposed and displayed.

The destination input means further allows the user to select a destination according to the classification information,
4. The navigation apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the destination position information is determined from the selected destination.

Furthermore, a weather condition input means for a user to input a weather name as weather condition registration data, and a weather condition determination means,
The weather-related information acquired by the communication unit includes the destination position information, and the expected arrival time is an effective time of the weather-related information, or is included in an effective period, and the weather condition When the determination unit determines that the information about the weather acquired by the communication unit does not match the predetermined condition of the weather condition registration data input from the user,
The image processing means generates a destination change recommended image for changing the destination,
The navigation device according to claim 4, wherein the display unit displays the destination change recommended image.

Furthermore, the alternative candidate selection condition registration means for registering the same classification selection condition in the storage unit, the same classification alternative candidate extraction means, and destination data classified by classification,
The classification selection condition allows the user to register that the candidate to be selected as an alternative is at least one of the classification to which the destination belongs, the inclusion relationship, or the mismatch as the alternative candidate selection condition,
The weather-related information acquired by the communication unit includes the destination position information, and the expected arrival time is an effective time of the weather-related information, or is included in an effective period, and the weather condition When the determination unit determines that the information about the weather acquired by the communication unit does not match the predetermined condition of the weather condition registration data input from the user,
The same category alternative candidate extracting means selects an alternative destination candidate from the category-specific destination data according to the same category selection condition,
The image processing means generates an image that recommends an alternative destination in which information on the alternative destination candidate is superimposed on the map data,
The navigation device according to claim 6 , wherein the display unit displays an image recommending the alternative destination.

Furthermore, it has alternative candidate selection condition registration means for registering neighborhood judgment conditions, neighborhood judgment means, and classification destination data,
As the proximity determination condition, the user can register that it is an alternative candidate selection condition that is close to at least one of the destination, the current location, and an arbitrary location,
The weather information acquired by the communication unit includes the destination position information, and the expected arrival time is an effective time of the information, or is included in an effective period, and the weather condition determination unit If it is determined that the information about the weather input from the user does not match the predetermined condition of the weather condition registration data,
The proximity determining means selects alternative destination candidates from the classified destination data according to the proximity determination conditions,
The image processing means generates an image that recommends an alternative destination in which information on the alternative destination candidate is superimposed on the map data,
The navigation device according to claim 8, wherein the display unit displays an image recommending the alternative destination.

The navigation apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information related to the weather is transmitted from a vehicle that has traveled in the past or is currently traveling at a point away from the vehicle.

Receiving weather information comprising a weather name and a valid range of information about the weather;
Loading map data;
A step of inputting a destination position from the user as destination position information;
Calculating a route for arriving at the destination input as the destination location information, and an estimated arrival time assumed to arrive at the destination by the route;
The destination location information is included from the received weather information, and the expected arrival time is an effective time of the weather information, or the effective time period is extracted,
A step in which a weather name is input as a weather condition by a user;
Determining whether the extracted weather-related information matches a weather condition input by the user;
A step of displaying an alternative candidate site when the extracted weather information does not match the input weather condition;
Selecting the alternative candidate location as a new destination from the user;
A method for displaying a navigation device, comprising: creating and displaying a map image in which information related to the weather is superimposed on a map on the map data and the extracted weather conditions.
