PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a traveling work machine capable of setting a start point and an end point when calculating a target azimuth by a simple operation. A vehicle equipped with a traveling device, a position detection unit capable of detecting positional information of the vehicle based on a positioning signal of a navigation satellite, and a traveling locus of the vehicle based on temporal detection of the positional information. A possible travel locus acquisition unit, a target azimuth calculation unit that calculates a target azimuth based on the travel locus, a steering control unit that can control the steering of the traveling device along the target azimuth, and when calculating the target azimuth. One operation tool capable of setting both the start point and the end point of the traveling locus to be acquired in 1.
