The navigation data source comprises a cost data set associated with a navigation data set that represents a map of a geographic region and defines at least a plurality of gateways. Each of the gateways of the plurality of gateways may be associated with a position located within the geographic region and associated with a gateway of a further navigation data set representing a map of another geographic region. The cost data set comprises cost data that defines, for at least some of the possible gateway pairs of the plurality of gateways, at least a cost value with each cost value indicating a cost for a route between gateways of a respective gateway pair.
