Given an input mask with an object box 75 to enter a to measuring object (restaurant, Landmark, store, gas station, etc.) and an area input field is 76 to enter the search area (street, city, zip code, county, etc.). The operator can then select a hit from the means of search or determined (eg in a map, in a satellite image, and / or in a 3D graphics) results offered.

p0065It can be provided that the evaluation of a voice input or a gesture input on-board or - if a connection to the server 10 is - via the server 10 offboard done. In this case, for example, voice commands may be sent as compressed audio files for evaluation to the server 10th It may also be a hybrid on-board / off-board evaluation provided. Initially, an evaluation of a voice input or a gesture input on-board and a "fine evaluation" of these inputs offboard means of the server.

p0066If the destination entry by voice input may - as shown in Figure 8 shown -. A graphic confirmation 82 carried the voice input. This graphical confirmation 82 may - as shown in Figure 8 shown -. Such as (limited) overlap a map display. So shows the embodiment of FIG. 8 as a bird's-eye view of an integrated 80 into a 3D graphics suggested route 81 via the touchscreen 21st It can also be provided that preferred routes are selectable. Thus, FIG. 9, an embodiment of a display for selecting preferred routes via the touchscreen 21st

p0067It can also be provided an automatic or at least an interactively automatic destination selection under certain circumstances. So it can be provided that the motor vehicle 3 transmits operation information of the vehicle 3 to the server 10th An operation information of the motor vehicle in this sense, for example, the status of the tank, the oil level, or information about a defect be. For example, if transferred, that the tank is almost empty, so navigation is offered and / or provided to the next gas station. If, for example transmitted, that a particular defect, so a menu to the next (suitable) is offered and / or provided service station.

p0068FIG. 10 illustrates an embodiment of a display of a route overview via the touchscreen 21. Here, numeral 90 a satellite image, and numeral 91 a suggested route. The route summary can also, in particular, from the air, carried in a fly-through mode.
