Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire a satellite image of ground level captured by an artificial satellite, and propose a travel route to a destination based on road information related to a road on which a vehicle can travel to the destination, the road information having been determined based on the acquired satellite image.
