According to the determination result, cost for roads where regulation exists is adequately changed and a search for a guidance route is made. By doing so, when a spot 36 where regulation exists is set as a destination, a guide route 41 which does not enter any regulation areas other than a regulation area 34 where the destination exists and enters only the regulation area 34 where the destination exists is searched for.
