Devices, methods, and programs correct an estimated path found by dead reckoning navigation. A point correlation value s is calculated based on a distance to a reliability circle whose radius is a speculative maximum error e that indicates a distance of an error range with respect to a GPS position. A correlation value Sp of an estimated path and a correlation value Sq of a candidate path are calculated from cumulative values of the point correlation values s. A correction that moves the estimated path is not performed if the correlation value Sq of the candidate path becomes worse than the correlation value Sp of the estimated path, and the correction of the estimated path is performed if the correlation value Sq of the candidate path does not become worse than the correlation value Sp of the estimated path. Thus, false matching can be further reduced, and the travel path can be suitably corrected.
