A navigation system for a vehicle determines a recommended route to a destination among a plurality of possible routes to the destination based on total profile values of the plurality of possible routes. The navigation system guides the vehicle to the destination along the recommended route. Here, navigation system determines whether an upstream side section of one of the plurality of possible routes is located on a multi-lane road in a specific condition. The navigation system determines whether an exit road and an entrance road are connected to the multi-lane road on a common side of the multi-lane road. The navigation system sets an amount of increase to be reflected into the total profile value of the one of the plurality of possible routes based on determination results.

What is claimed is: 1. A navigation system for a vehicle, comprising:multi-branch point determining means for determining whether a navigation point of a multi-lane road along a first recommended route to a destination is a temporal branch lane navigation point depending on whether a temporal branch road branches from the first recommended route at the navigation point or branches from the multi-lane road at a point located on a downstream side of the navigation point with a reference distance from the navigation point, the temporal branch road inevitably merging with the first recommended route;first recommended route lane navigating means for guiding the vehicle to a first recommended route lane of the multi-lane road based on the first recommended route at a first spot located along the multi-lane road on an upstream side of the navigation point when the multi-branch point determining means determines that the navigation point is the temporal branch lane navigation point;lane determining means for determining whether a current lane, on which the vehicle drives, is the first recommended route lane at a second spot located along the multi-lane road between the first spot and the navigation point; andsecond recommended route lane navigating means for guiding the vehicle to a second recommended route lane of the multi-lane road based on a second recommended route to the destination when the lane determining means determines that the current lane is not the first recommended route lane, whereinthe second recommended route travels along the multi-lane road and exits the multi-lane road along the temporal branch road.
