The navigation device of the present invention has a storage device which
stores map data including link data of respective links constituting
roads on a map, and statistical data including travel time (moving speed)
which is determined by statistical values of traffic information
collected in the past, with respect to each of the links. Then, the
navigation device uses for each departure time candidate, the map data
and the statistical data of collection conditions corresponding to the
statuses upon passing each of the route constituting links which
constitute the route, so as to obtain the travel time for each of the
route constituting links. Thereafter, the travel times of respective
route constituting links thus obtained are summed up, and the travel time
between the departure position and the destination is obtained.
