In a method for operating a navigation system for a motor vehicle having an offboard data memory, spatially separated from the motor vehicle, having data packets of visual map information, divided by region, as well as a display arranged in the motor vehicle, a selection of data packets provided for transmission to the motor vehicle and/or their sequence occur as a function of the resolution of the display, the location of the motor vehicle, an assumed route of the motor vehicle and/or the bandwidth of a communication connection provided for the transmission, the selected data packets being transmitted to the motor vehicle (e.g., in the selected sequence), and visual map information from data packets transmitted to the motor vehicle being represented by the display.

In a method for processing a satellite image and/or aerial image, unwanted objects are able to be removed from the satellite image and/or aerial image. Geographical positions of objects pictured in the satellite and/or aerial image are determined, at least one photo is taken at ground level at each and/or in the respective immediate vicinity of the geographical positions determined, and these photos taken at ground level are superimposed on the satellite image and/or aerial image.

Method for processing a satellite image and/or an aerial image

A head light for a motor vehicle has a light source for generating a beam of light as well as a electronic beam steering module for steering the beam of light and/or a electronic beam shaping module for shaping the beam of light, wherein the head light has a light filter for eliminating at least the substantial portion of red light from the light generated by means of the light source.

A method for updating a geographic database containing image data and road vector data to be used in vehicle navigation systems includes determining whether a vehicle is in an on-road position based on information provided by the vehicle navigation system. A geographically coded image is generated with a vehicle-mounted camera if the vehicle is not in an on-road position according to the information provided by the vehicle navigation system. The geographically coded image generated by the vehicle-mounted camera is analyzed in order to determine whether the geographic database requires updating.

A system and method relates to electronic adaptive front-lighting of a vehicle, including at least one fixed solid state light source. The fixed solid state light source is configured to illuminate a front peripheral region of a vehicle. In addition, the fixed solid state light source is integrated with a daytime running light module of the vehicle.
