And if comprised in this way, after displaying the guidance information of detection SA and detection PA which has the facilities applicable to the selected required time, the traffic congestion etc. which generate | occur | produced in the expressway in the route ahead of the own vehicle position If the facility does not correspond to the required time after the fact, the user can quickly and surely understand that fact.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the facility search unit 32 further detects the forward SA on the route and the forward PA on the route having the facility corresponding to the selection item on the facility selection screen (that is, the detected SA and the detected PA are not detected). In the case of 0), a facility corresponding to the selected item (hereinafter referred to as a general road replacement facility) may be searched from a general road around the exit of the highway in the route ahead of the host vehicle position. At this time, the exit may be the nearest (closest) exit in front of the vehicle position. Such a search for a general road replacement facility may be performed using the route calculation function of the route search unit 28. In addition, although a general road replacement facility is out of the condition of a facility on a highway in the route, the selection items (type, required time, etc.) are satisfied. Then, when the facility search unit 32 detects a general road replacement facility, the highway traveling guidance information display processing unit 30 may display the detected general road replacement facility guidance information. With this configuration, when there is no service area or parking area having a desired facility on the expressway in the route, search for an alternative facility on the general road from the general road around the exit of the expressway and obtain guidance information. Since it can be displayed, convenience can be improved.

  In relation to this, the guidance information display control unit 33 is a case where there are a plurality of selection items on the facility selection screen (for example, type and required time), and the detection SA and the detection PA corresponding to all of these are displayed. Even if it does not exist, if there is a forward SA on the route and a forward PA on the route that have facilities corresponding to the type, it corresponds to the type for the guidance information display processing unit 30 when traveling on the expressway. You may perform control for displaying the guidance information of forward SA on the route and PA on the route which has facilities. However, the control at this time is to display the guidance information of the forward SA on the route having the facility corresponding to the type and the forward PA on the route, and the normal guidance information in the case of having the facility corresponding to all of the plurality of selection items. The display mode is different from the mode, and control is performed to display in a display mode in which a search instruction operation for a general roadside alternative facility can be performed. And when the said search instruction | indication operation in the state by which the guidance information was displayed by the guidance information display process part 30 at the time of highway driving according to the said control was performed, the route search part 32 makes several a trigger What is necessary is just to transfer to the search for alternative facilities on the general road corresponding to the selection item. And if comprised in this way, it is ensured by the display mode of the guidance information different from a regular display mode that the service area and parking area which have a desired facility do not exist ahead of the own vehicle position on the highway in a route. After grasping, it is possible to wait for the user's instruction and shift to the search for an alternative facility on the general road, so that the guide information reflecting the user's intention can be displayed.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen transition state as a first operation example of the in-vehicle navigation device 7 in the present embodiment.

  That is, FIG. 4A shows a normal highway mode screen 35 displayed by the highway traveling guidance information display processing unit 30 during traveling on the highway in the route of the host vehicle. However, unlike the highway mode screen 1 shown in FIG. 7, the highway mode screen 35 can be operated by a user to instruct display of a facility selection screen (in other words, facility search). Specifically, a facility search button 36 is displayed on the highway mode screen 35 in addition to the guidance information 2a to 2c, the diagram 3, the scroll button 5, and the like. It is possible to operate using. When the facility search button 36 is operated, the facility selection screen display processing unit 31 displays a facility selection screen 37 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the facility selection screen 37 displays logo marks 38 indicating the types of a plurality of facilities together with check boxes corresponding to the facilities, and the user uses the operation unit 12. By designating a desired check box, the type corresponding to the designated check box can be easily selected. However, in the present invention, even when a plurality of types are selected simultaneously, the selected item is handled as one item (that is, the type of facility). Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, a required time selection button 39 is displayed on the facility selection screen 37 so as to be operable using the operation unit 12, and the user presses the required time selection button 39. The required time can be selected by operating. However, for this required time, “no designation” may be included as an option. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the decision button 40 is displayed on the facility selection screen 37 so as to be operable using the operation unit 12, and the facility is operated by operating the decision button 40. Selection items on the selection screen 37 are fixed. Note that the selection items in FIG. 4B are two items, that is, the type of facility (“automobile maintenance facility”) and the required time (“within 120 minutes”). When such a selection item is confirmed by the operation of the decision button 40, the facility search unit 32 searches the route forward SA and the route forward PA having the facility corresponding to the confirmed selection item. . Then, according to the control of the guidance information display control unit 33, the facility information search processing unit 30 reflects the search result of the facility search unit 32 by the highway traveling guidance information display processing unit 30 as shown in FIG. The regular highway mode screen 41 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the regular highway mode screen 41 at the time of facility search is a highway mode screen 41 when there is a detected SA or PA (not 0), and in FIG. Shows the guidance information 2 of one detected SA. Here, the guidance information 2 of the detected SA includes a logo for the required time and the facility type in addition to the service area name. The required time and the facility type are included in the selection items on the facility selection screen 37. It turns out that it corresponds. In addition, the highway mode screen 41 has a position near the lower side (corresponding position) of the guidance information 2 of the detected SA on the diagram 3 as information different from the guidance information 2 from the vehicle position to the front SA on the route. The remaining number information 42 indicating the number of service areas, parking areas, and interchanges existing in the area is superimposed and displayed. By displaying such a highway mode screen 41, the user can easily grasp a service area having a desired facility without requiring a complicated screen scrolling operation as in the prior art.

  Next, FIG. 5 shows another example of the screen transition state as a second operation example of the in-vehicle navigation device 7 in the present embodiment.

  Specifically, FIG. 5A shows a display state of the facility selection screen 37 similar to that in FIG. However, in this operation example, among the type and the required time selected on the facility selection screen 37, there are the forward SA on the route and the forward PA on the route having the facility corresponding to the type (extracted by the facility search unit 32). However, the forward SA on the route and the forward PA on the route having the facility corresponding to the required time are not present. In such a case, the search result (detection SA and detection PA) by the facility search unit 32 is zero. However, even in such a case, in this operation example, according to the control of the guidance information display control unit 33, the highway traveling guidance information display processing unit 30 performs a facility search as shown in FIG. An irregular highway mode screen 45 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the non-regular highway mode screen 45 during facility search is similar in basic screen configuration to the regular highway mode screen 41 shown in FIG. 4 (c). However, the required time included in the guidance information 2 (“130 minutes” in FIG. 5B) exceeds the required time selected in the facility selection screen 37 (“within 120 minutes” in FIG. 5A). And the display color of the diagram 3 are different from those of the regular highway mode screen 41. Note that the display color of the diagram 3 may be blue in the case of the regular highway mode screen 41 and red in the case of the non-regular highway mode screen 45, for example. Such a change in display color may also be applied to a change in display mode when the detection SA or detection PA described above does not satisfy the required time afterwards. Further, on the highway mode screen 45 in FIG. 5B, a general road alternative facility search instruction button 44 is displayed so as to be operable using the operation unit 12. When the general road alternative facility search instruction button 44 is operated on the highway mode screen 45, the facility search unit 32 selects the road shown in FIG. 5A from the general road around the interchange nearest to the vehicle position. After a general road replacement facility satisfying the items (type and required time) is searched, the general road replacement facility guide screen 46 as shown in FIG. Will be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the general road alternative facility guidance screen 46 displays general road alternative facility guidance information 47 a to 47 c detected by the facility search unit 32. Each guide information 47a to 47c includes the required time in addition to the facility name. The name (type) and required time of these facilities correspond to the selection items on the facility selection screen 37. I understand. Further, on the map 48 in the background of the guide information 47a to 47c, a logo mark 50 indicating the position of the facility corresponding to the guide information 47a to 47c is superimposed and displayed together with the own vehicle position mark 49. By displaying the general road alternative facility guidance screen 46 as described above, the user can change the travel plan so as to go down from the highway in the route and stop at a desired facility on the general road. From such a point of view, the highway traveling guidance information display processing unit 30 displays the guidance information 47a to 47c on the general road alternative facility guidance screen 46 in a state that can be selected by the operation unit 12 as a waypoint candidate. It is desirable. In this case, the facility corresponding to the selected guide information 47a to 47c is set as a waypoint by the navigation CPU 17, and the route search unit 28 uses the route search unit 28 to reach the original destination. The optimum route may be re-searched, and further, the route guidance unit 29 may start route guidance according to the re-searched optimum route.

  Next, an embodiment of the highway traveling guidance information display method according to the present invention to which the vehicle-mounted navigation device 7 is applied will be described with reference to FIG.
