Abstract
The invention discloses a device and an apparatus with the assistance of which a driver can locate his parked vehicle of unknown location. The information concerning the instantaneous location of the vehicle gained by a navigation system located in the vehicle is transferred, prior to or at completion of parking, to a mobile terminal which can be carried along by the driver when leaving his vehicle and stored therein. When needed, the driver can recall the information concerning the parked location from the memory of the mobile terminal for display on a monitor in a recognizable manner. Instead of direct storage in the mobile terminal, the information concerning the parked location can also be stored in a remote intermediate memory to which the terminal has access.
