See full text

The present invention relates to a device and a method for navigating a vehicle along a route from a starting position or an instantaneous position to a destination. To this end, a route calculation device of a navigation device calculates a route course which is composed of a sequence of several coherent roads stored on a digital map of a memory device as a first route, and additionally calculates at least one alternative route by allocating a penalty attribute, especially increased average traveling time, road distance or the like, to at least one road of the first route. The method comprises at least the following steps of: S1: entering at least one destination; S2: calculating a first route; S3: allocating a penalty attribute to at least one road of the first route; S4: calculating at least one additional route; S7: representing the routes and selecting a route; S8: navigational guidance along the selected route.
