Abstract
A method is provided for operating a navigation system of a hybrid motor vehicle having a combustion engine and an electric motor that is fed from an associated battery. In this method, an efficiency route enabling a maximum utilization of the electric motor is determined by the navigation system, where at least one item of efficiency information is considered in the determination of the efficiency route. The efficiency information is provided dynamically by a drive control device of the motor vehicle and is dependent on the current operating state and/or the current operating prediction.
