The present disclosure relates to a navigation apparatus and a storage medium.
In recent years, development of navigation technology which performs navigation of a route has been made for a user who walks, runs, or operates a car, ship or the like. As an example of this, technology has been developed, for a user who is driving a car, which determines a route to be guided based on whether the route is shaded or in the sun, from the viewpoint of suppressing energy consumption and a concern for the environment.
For example, JP 2012-47456A discloses technology which calculates a sunlight amount and determines a route, based on the speed limit of the route and factors which can cause delays such as temporary stops, in addition to sunlight information based on the position of the sun, the orientation of the road, surrounding buildings or the like.
Further, JP 2009-264902A discloses technology which specifies a guidance route, in accordance with the total ultraviolet ray exposure amount calculated by using a database in which an ultraviolet ray exposure amount is stored for each predetermined section.
Further, JP 2007-205946A discloses technology which performs guidance by searching again for a route which satisfies a search condition specified by a user, in the case where circumstances occur which are different from those expected at the time of performing a route search.
