Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif, un procédé ou un programme de navigation qui permettent à des informations de guidage, qui indiquent un guidage donné par un compagnon de voyage à un conducteur, d'être mémorisées, et lorsqu'il est détecté qu'un véhicule se trouve à proximité d'une position à laquelle les informations de guidage sont mémorisées lors du déplacement suivant sur le même itinéraire, le guidage correspondant à la position est sorti de manière appropriée, offrant ainsi une présentation plus souple et plus conviviale qui est identique à celle donnée par le compagnon de voyage au conducteur.
