Abstract
A method of directing a driver of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, aircraft or ship, from at least one starting point to at least one destination is described, a trip route being defined from the at least one starting point to the at least one destination. Once a certain property is specified, the driver of the vehicle is informed of which sections along the trip route have the given property. This allows the user or the driver of the vehicle to intervene specifically in the trip planning by including route sections having the given property in the route planning or by initiating the determination of an alternative route section.
