  Next, the user operates the operation unit 105 to input search information such as the departure point, the destination, and the railway line that is the transportation system used (step S21). Search data obtained by this input operation is transmitted from the communication unit 103 to the navigation server 60 via the network 20.

  In the navigation server 60, the route search unit 603 searches the search data and the map database to acquire map data (step S22). For example, when the map data searched by the route search unit 603 uses the railway line to go to the destination T on foot from the departure point S, the map data from the departure point S to the nearest boarding station X on the railway line is the first. The walking route A is the third walking route C from the nearest disembarking station Z to the destination T for the destination T, and the fourth walking route is from the disembarking station W in front of the nearest disembarking station Z to the destination T. The content is D. The acquired map data is transmitted from the map distribution unit 301 to the navigation terminal device 10 via the network 20.

  The map data received by the navigation terminal device 10 is supplied to the distance calculation unit 107. The distance calculation unit 107 calculates the distances of the first walking route A, the second walking route B, and the fourth walking route D independently (step S23). This calculation result is supplied to the calorie consumption calculating unit 108, and the calorie consumption value is independently calculated based on the setting contents of the setting unit 106 (step S24).

  The map data is supplied to the map display driving unit 104. At the same time, the calculated calorie consumption value is supplied to the calorie consumption display drive unit 109. Then, the display unit 101 displays the calorie consumption value on the display screen 70 shown in FIG. 6 along with the map (step S25). Here, since the display of the map is the same as before, the display state is omitted.

  When the user departs from the departure point on foot and goes to the destination by train, the user takes the third walking route C to get off at the nearest disembarking station Z or the station in front of the nearest disembarking station Z Whether to take the fourth walking route D to get off at W is determined from the calorie consumption value. For example, when actively compensating for lack of exercise, a route with a large calorie consumption including the fourth walking route D is selected by the walking route selection operation unit 113 (step S26).

  When this selection is completed, the display screen 70 disappears, and the map is displayed with the contents of the search result using the fourth walking route D. Then, the current position of the navigation device 10 is grasped by the GPS 102, and guidance is provided on the display unit 101 using a route that adopts the fourth walking route D (step S27).

  After the guidance is completed, the calorie consumption value of the route including the fourth walking route D is stored in the storage unit 113 together with the selected date and time (step S28). This stored data is read later and used for grasping the value of calorie consumption consumed by the user.

  According to the second embodiment of the present invention described above, the route search unit 603 sets the first walking route A from the departure point S to the nearest boarding station X of the transportation facility, and the nearest getting off of the transportation facility to the destination T. Map data can be acquired with the third walking route C from the station Z to the destination T and the fourth walking route D from the getting-off station W in front of the nearest getting-off station Z to the destination T. The distance calculation unit 107 can independently calculate the distances of the first walking route A, the third walking route C, and the fourth walking route D.

  The calorie consumption calculating unit 108 includes the contents of the basic data set by the setting unit 106, the first walking route A, the third walking route C, and the fourth walking in the route calculated by the distance calculating unit 107. The calorie consumption value is calculated from the distance of the route D. Then, the calculated calorie consumption value displays the difference between the third walking route C and the fourth walking route D on the display unit 101. The user can select one of the third walking route C and the fourth walking route D displayed on the display unit 101 by the walking route selection operation unit 113 as a part of the walking guidance route.

  In addition, since the selected walking route, calorie consumption, date and time, and the like are stored in the storage unit 111, they can be used as accumulated data.

  Therefore, the user can select the magnitude of the calorie consumption value from the starting point to the destination and use it for health management.

  In the first and second embodiments of the present invention described above, a train is given as an example of the transportation means to be used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various types of buses, aircraft, ships, and the like are used. Of course, it can be applied to other transportation modes.

  In the first and second embodiments of the present invention described above, the navigation server is separated from the navigation terminal device. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two are integrated. Good.

  In the first and second embodiments of the present invention described above, the distance calculation unit 107, the calorie consumption calculation unit 108, and the like have independent circuit configurations, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it comprise with IC which integrated these circuits.
