A navigation device (1) is provided with a route searching unit (16a), an environment information acquisition unit (15), and a control unit (16). The route searching unit (16a) searches for a route to a destination of the host vehicle on the basis of map information, the location of the vehicle, and the destination. Before the vehicle reaches a guidance performance location where speech output will be carried out, the environment information acquisition unit (15) acquires environment information about the environment outside the vehicle for the location. On the basis of the environment information, the control unit (16) selectively causes a speech output device (51) to vocally output a name or characteristic of a landmark object at the guidance performance location. |
