Abstract
A method for operating a navigation system of a vehicle includes providing one or more dedicated route options, transmitting a first signal for requesting one or more route options to a vehicle-external data processing device, and receiving a second signal from the vehicle-external data processing device, where the second signal identifies one or more route options provided by the vehicle-external data processing device for route calculation. The method also includes outputting at least one of the dedicated route options and at least one of the route options identified in the second signal, and detecting at least one input of a user of the navigation system corresponding to a selected one of the outputted route options. If the selected route option is one of the route options identified in the second signal, the method includes transmitting a third signal that identifies the selected route option to the vehicle-external data processing device, and receiving a fourth signal from the vehicle-external data processing device identifying a route assigned to the selected route option and calculated by the vehicle-external data processing device. If the selected route option is one of the dedicated route options, the method also includes calculating a route assigned to the selected route option, and outputting the calculated route.
