Guidance information generating device, guidance information generating method and guidance information generating program

A guidance information generating method for a guidance information generating device, comprising:

• transmitting search criterion information, which indicates a search criterion, to a search server that is a search provider on Internet;
• acquiring destination point information on a destination point including information indicating a position of the destination point, name of the destination point, address of the destination point and telephone number of the destination point, which is a point searched in a destination point database stored in the search server on the basis of the search criterion and which is searched among points including points not connected to a road, from the search server;
• searching a candidate point database stored in the guidance information generating device that stores candidate point information on a candidate point connected to the road in association with the candidate point, and identifying the candidate point, associated with the candidate point information including at least one of name of the candidate point matching to the name of the destination point and telephone number of the candidate point matching to the telephone number of the destination point, as an arrival point;
• and
• generating first guidance information that indicates a first route to the arrival point when the arrival point has been identified and generating second guidance information that indicates a second route to a point closest to the destination point among points on roads when the arrival point has not been identified;
• in case each of the candidate point information and the destination point information indicates information on a plurality of information items, and
• generating the first guidance information that causes a display device to display the first route and a position of the destination point when the arrival point has been identified.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a guidance information generating program that causes a computer to perform a guidance information generating function for a guidance information generating device, the guidance information generating function comprising:

• transmitting search criterion information, which indicates a search criterion, to a search server that is a search provider on Internet;
• acquiring destination point information on a destination point including information indicating a position of the destination point, name of the destination point, address of the destination point and telephone number of the destination point, which is a point searched in a destination point database stored in the search server on the basis of the search criterion and which is searched among points including points not connected to a road, from the search server;
• searching a candidate point database stored in the guidance information generating device that stores candidate point information on a candidate point connected to the road in association with the candidate point, and identifying the candidate point, associated with the candidate point information including at least one of name of the candidate point matching to the name of the destination point and telephone number of the candidate point matching to the telephone number of the destination point, as an arrival point;
• and
• generating first guidance information that indicates a first route to the arrival point when the arrival point has been identified and generating second guidance information that indicates a second route to a point closest to the destination point among points on roads when the arrival point has not been identified,
• in case each of the candidate point information and the destination point information indicates information on a plurality of information items,
• generating the first guidance information that causes a display device to display the first route and a position of the destination point when the arrival point has been identified.
