Abstract

A method for operating a navigation system includes the following steps: a) calculating a route from a starting point to a destination, wherein the route consists of a sequence of road segments and junctions between the road segments that is selected from a database in which a geographic area is described by means of road segments and junctions with a route calculation method, b) calculating at least one lane instruction that contains instructions for the user in order to follow the calculated route in the form of a lane change maneuver based on the current position, and c) calculating and displaying a schematic lane image (12) on a display unit, wherein the schematic lane image (12) graphically displays the lane instruction in schematic form, wherein c1) a first lane course (13) is calculated that shows the lanes prior to the lane change maneuver, particularly at the current position; c2) a second lane course (14) is calculated that shows the lanes during the lane change maneuver, and c3) a combination of the first and the second lane course is displayed in the schematic lane image (12).
