  As another example, as shown in FIG. 6, the user thinks “I want to shop” and sets “shopping mall” as a destination from the mobile communication terminal 11 via the input unit 6. Here, it is assumed that the shopping mall is directly connected to the underground parking lot. Based on the destination related information acquired by the destination related information acquisition unit 2 (here, information related to the “shopping mall” which is the destination and information related to the underground parking lot), the prediction unit 4 It is predicted that an umbrella is unnecessary when arriving at an underground parking lot (a destination arrival point) directly connected to a shopping mall. At this time, the prediction unit 4 may consider the reception status from the GPS satellite in the vehicle position information acquisition unit 3, and if the reception status is bad (for example, if the information from the GPS satellite cannot be received at all) You may judge that the own vehicle exists in an underground parking lot.

  In the example of FIG. 6, the output unit 10 does not notify the result predicted by the prediction unit 4, but may notify that an umbrella is unnecessary. Although FIG. 6 shows a case where the destination is set from the mobile communication terminal 11, the destination may be set from the input unit 6.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to appropriately notify the necessary equipment at the destination upon arrival at the destination.

<Embodiment 2>

Change. The prediction unit 4 can notify the user when the weather condition at the destination changes due to a change in the traffic congestion situation on the road (that is, a change in the estimated arrival time at the destination). For example, even if you predicted that an umbrella is not necessary because the weather at the destination is clear when you depart, predict that an umbrella is necessary because the weather at the destination became rain on the way to the destination Can do. By notifying the user of the result of such prediction, the user can prepare an umbrella before arriving at the destination even if the user does not have an umbrella at the time of departure.

  In addition, it may be notified only when the weather at the destination changes regardless of the traffic congestion situation on the road. In this case, whether the weather has changed may be determined based on the probability of precipitation. For example, if the probability of precipitation is 50% or more, it may be predicted that an umbrella is necessary.

  In addition, for example, when the external information is information on a homepage regarding the facility or place of the destination on the Internet, the prediction unit 4 arrives at the destination with information on equipment necessary for the facility or place indicated on the homepage. You may make it estimate as necessary equipment at the time of doing.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, it is possible to perform more appropriate notification than the first embodiment regarding the equipment required at the destination upon arrival at the destination.
