The information or information elements are output to the full extent if allowed by the display capacity, and an abbreviation is output for at least one component of an item of information or an information element to be output if the capacity of the display is not sufficient for output of the complete information or a complete unit of information.

Method for the output of text information via a display

A method for destination selection in a navigation system in which each destination from a totality of all destinations is defined by destination parameters and a set of possible destinations from the totality of all destinations is limited step-wise due to the input of individual characters for one parameter. When inputting the characters, a switch may be made from one destination parameter to an input of a character for another parameter.

Method for selecting elements in a driver information system or in a navigation system or in a mobile terminal

A method for determining a route from a starting point to a destination point in a navigation system for a motor vehicle, a factor which influences the energy consumption or the pollutant emissions while traveling the route being taken into account when determining the route. The factor describes the energy consumption or pollutant emissions during standstills of the motor vehicle while traveling the route and a navigation system for this purpose. A route calculation is improved with the goal of minimizing the energy consumption or pollutant emissions over the entire route and thereby contributes to environmental protection.

Method for determining a route in a navigation system, and navigation system

A navigational device for guiding a vehicle within a network of traffic routes provides, for guidance purposes, a guide object that is shown in relation to the traffic route in such a manner that the guide object's movement represents driving maneuvers to be performed by the driver. The driver emulates the driving maneuvers shown to him/her and thus follows the previously calculated route.

Navigational device

The present invention relates to a method for subdividing the road pattern in digital road maps into segments, in which, starting from the digital road maps in which the road pattern is subdivided into successive segments, new segment borders are established via new segment starting points and segment end points, by selecting the segment starting points and the segment end points in such a way that the shape of the segments between the segment starting points and the segment end points does not change. The invention also relates to the computation of the road pattern with the aid of digital road maps, in which the road is subdivided into successive segments, to each of which one segment starting point and one segment end point is assigned. The shape of the segment is established and, from its relative position, its pattern is computed with the aid of the number of support points situated between the segment starting points and the segment end points, and/or with the aid of transition conditions between the segments and/or the consideration of attributes.

The supplementary location-related information which may be included in a digital map of the receiver is transmitted in such a way that the location-related information may be downloaded from an Internet page.

Method for the transmisson of location-related information

A device and a method of detecting and preprocessing vehicle data, traffic data, and/or driver data, such as the speed, direction of travel, engine condition, weather conditions, heart rate, etc., is described, in which the time and location of recording the data are also recorded in addition to the data mentioned. The position determination may be accomplished in particular by a positioning system such as GPS. The position may be adjusted using a digital map. The recorded data is preferably preprocessed in real time, coded, and/or compressed and/or subjected to a statistical analysis, linked mathematically/logically and recorded and/or transmitted.

Device and method for detecting and preprocessing vehicle, traffic and/or driver related data

A navigation system for a motor vehicle includes at least one storage device, at least one navigation map being stored on each storage device, which is read out using a reading device. Associated with the reading device is a changeover device for exchanging storage devices that are to be read out by the reading device. A navigation map and information regarding the instantaneous position of the motor vehicle are displayed to a vehicle occupant via a display device. A control device for the changeover device controls the changeover device so that a point in time for changing over the storage device is identifiable so that during the changeover operation of the storage device, a deviation of the motor vehicle from the route segment currently being traveled is improbable based on the current navigation data of the motor vehicle.

Navigation system and method for operating a navigation system

In a navigational system for generating route recommendations and for target tracking, a system () is proposed, which detects vehicle-, traffic-, and/or driver-related data and which from these data can derive patterns of behavior of the user. The patterns of behavior as well as the user preferences derived therefrom can then be used to apply individually adapted optimization criteria to the specific user in calculating the route. When patterns of behavior are detected that deviate from the usual behavior, the detection of sensor information can automatically be expanded in order, in a plausibility check, to establish causes for the deviations and to derive therefrom new user preferences, if appropriate.
