It is always lit and displayed under the control of the drawing unit 23. However, the display color of the icon 30d is a predetermined dark color.

  Thereby, the user can quickly grasp that the facility corresponding to the icon 30a blinking and displayed in the predetermined light color is just about to start business. At this time, the navigation CPU 10 may display or voice-guide a message indicating that the facility corresponding to the icon 30a blinking and displayed in the predetermined light color is about to start business. At this time, the navigation CPU 10 may display or voice-guide a message indicating that the facility corresponding to the icon 30b blinking in the predetermined dark color is currently closed. Further, at this time, the navigation CPU 10 may display or provide voice guidance for a message indicating that the facility corresponding to the normally displayed icon 30c is currently in operation. Furthermore, at this time, the navigation CPU 10 may display or voice-guide a message indicating that the facility corresponding to the icon 30d that is always lit and displayed in the predetermined dark color is not in operation.

  Further, the icons 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d as shown in FIG. 4 are displayed to indicate that the icons are displayed in a display mode corresponding to the temporal relationship between the current time and the business hours. It may be performed when the mode (hereinafter referred to as the first icon display mode) is set in the icon display mode control unit 27 by default or by an input operation using the input operation unit 5.

  Next, an example of the presentation operation according to the first presentation mode will be described.

  In the first presentation mode, first, as shown in step 1 (ST1) of FIG. 5, whether or not the map drawing unit 18 has instructed the map display of the map around the vehicle position by the operation of the input operation unit 5.

The icon is superimposed and the process ends. The icon display mode other than the first icon display mode is, for example, a mode in which all icons of facilities existing in the map area are displayed in the same display mode (for example, always lit display in light color). In addition, an icon display mode for displaying an icon in a display mode according to a temporal relationship between a current time and a time service implementation time, which will be described later, can be considered.

  Next, in step 6 (ST6), the business area information in the facility information acquired in step 3 (ST3) and the current time acquired in step 5 (ST5) by the map area corresponding facility extraction unit 25. Based on the above, for each facility in the map area, it is determined whether or not the current time is within business hours for each facility. If a negative determination result is obtained in the determination in step 6 (ST6), the process proceeds to step 7 (ST7). If a positive determination result is obtained, the process proceeds to step 9 (ST9). .

  In step 7 (ST7), the business area information in the facility information acquired in step 3 (ST3) and the current time acquired in step 5 (ST5) by the map area corresponding facility extraction unit 25 Based on the above, the corresponding facility in the first map area and the facility outside business hours based on the current time are extracted. Specifically, for the facilities existing in the map area, it is determined for each facility whether or not the current time is a time before the business start within a predetermined time until the business start. If a correct determination result is obtained, the process proceeds to step 8 (ST8), and if a negative determination result is obtained, the process proceeds to step 12 (ST12). Of the facilities existing in the map area, the facility proceeding to step 8 (ST8) is the corresponding facility in the first map area, and the facility proceeding to step 12 (ST12) is based on the current time. It becomes a facility outside business hours.

  On the other hand, in step 9 (ST9), the business area information in the facility information acquired in step 3 (ST3) and the current time acquired in step 5 (ST5) by the map area corresponding facility extraction unit 25. Based on the above, a facility just before the end of business based on the current time and a facility in operation based on the current time are extracted. Specifically, for the facilities existing in the map area, it is determined for each facility whether or not the current time is a time before the end of business within a predetermined time until the end of business. If a correct determination result is obtained, the process proceeds to step 10 (ST10), and if a negative determination result is obtained, the process proceeds to step 11 (ST11). Of the facilities existing in the map area, the facility proceeding to step 10 (ST10) becomes the facility just before the end of the business based on the current time, and the facility proceeding to step 11 (ST11) is the current facility. It is a facility in operation based on the time of the day.

  Next, in step 7 (ST7), the facility icon drawing unit 23 performs the display in the display mode (the display mode corresponding to the corresponding facility in the first map area) according to the control of the icon display mode control unit 27. The icon 30a (see FIG. 4) indicating the corresponding facility in one map area is displayed, and the process ends.

  Further, in step 12 (ST12), the facility icon drawing unit 23 displays an icon 30d () indicating a facility outside business hours based on the current time in the display mode according to the control of the icon display mode control unit 27. 4) is displayed, and the process is terminated.

You may make it extract the kind of facility simultaneously. However, the facility just before the end of business based on the estimated arrival time is a facility whose predicted arrival time is the time before the business end within a predetermined time until the business end of the facilities searched by the facility search unit 33 (The same applies hereinafter). The predetermined time for defining the facility just before the end of business can be selected from various times according to the concept. The facility that is in operation based on the estimated arrival time is a facility whose estimated arrival time is within business hours among the facilities searched by the facility search unit 33, and is based on the estimated arrival time. This is a facility other than the facility just before the end of business (hereinafter the same). Further, the facility outside the business hours based on the estimated arrival time is a facility whose predicted arrival time is out of business hours among the facilities searched by the facility search unit 33, and the first search facility This refers to facilities other than the relevant facilities upon arrival (the same shall apply hereinafter).

  Such classification and extraction into four types of facilities are performed by the business hours information on the facilities retrieved by the facility retrieval unit 33 stored in the hard disk drive 14 and the estimated arrival time calculated by the estimated arrival time calculation unit 48. Based on the time of day.

  Then, the facility display mode control unit 50 upon arrival in the search facility may control the facility search result drawing unit 34 so that the display modes of the facility search results for these four types of facilities are different from each other. . In this case, the facilities searched by the facility search unit 33 are presented to the user in different presentation modes in a state where the facilities are classified into the four types of facilities.

  In this case, for example, the relevant facility display mode control unit 50 upon arrival in the search facility sets the facility search result for the relevant facility upon arrival in the first search facility as a predetermined item 41a shown in FIG. It may be controlled to blink in a bright color. Further, the facility display mode control unit 50 corresponding to the arrival in the search facility displays the facility search result for the facility just before the end of business based on the estimated arrival time as a predetermined dark color as shown in the item 41b in FIG. Control may be performed so as to blink.
