There are provided a navigation system, a route search method and a
storage medium which are easily capable of setting a destination even if
a telephone number, which is not contained in a storage device, is
entered. A route search processing unit, in the case where, for example,
positions corresponding to telephone numbers that match the number
expressing the area of the entered telephone number are four or more,
selects four telephone numbers that are approximate to the entered
telephone number, and sets the point of intersection, which is formed
when the positions corresponding to the selected telephone numbers are
connected diagonally by straight lines, as a destination. The route
search processing unit searches for a route from the position of a user's
car, which is calculated by a vehicle position measuring unit, to a point
that is set as a destination.
