Abstract
A navigation system has an interface for accessing a memory unit, in which an electronic road map is stored with a large number of road sections, each of which has at least one first cost element assigned thereto, and has a computer unit, which is designed such that at least one second cost element is assigned or will be assigned to at least some of the road sections. In order to compute a route, a cost value is assigned or will be assigned to each of the road sections, wherein the computation of the cost value for the first road sections is based in each case on the first and the second cost element and for the second road sections is based in each case on the first and not on the second cost elements.
