Abstract
A method for manipulating source data to determine a route from a predetermined starting point to a predetermined destination for a means of conveyance, in particular for a motor vehicle, airplane or ship, based on a digital database that includes predetermined route segments k with correspondingly assigned nodes n that interconnect respective route segments k , where respective weights g are assigned to the route segments k and/or the nodes n . The weights g are varied, as a function of external events, before a route finding algorithm determines the route.
