Examples of these criteria include costs, availability, and/or bandwidth, etc. In addition, a seamless transition between online and offline operation may be provided, a suggested route optionally including map data being stored in an on-board memory.
- The suggested route may be a function of the current traffic, construction sites, weather and environmental conditions, and/or visibility, etc. The suggested route may also be a function of personal preferences (e.g., interesting routes, landmarks, shopping areas, etc.).
- The motor vehicle may include a position-finding system for determining the position of the motor vehicle, the orientation or heading of the motor vehicle, and/or the on-board time, etc. In this context, the position of the motor vehicle, the heading of the motor vehicle, and/or the on-board time to be transmittable to the off-board navigation system via the wireless communication connection may be taken into account. The position of the motor vehicle within the present context may also be a variable, from which the position of the motor vehicle is ascertainable, such as GPS signals received by the motor vehicle. If, for example, the GPS signals received by the motor vehicle are transmitted to the off-board navigation system, then it ascertains the position of the motor vehicle and the heading of the motor vehicle, and possibly the on-board time.
- A destination may be input (e.g., via the man-machine interface). This destination may be transmittable to the off-board navigation system via the wireless communication connection. The destination may be inputted alphanumerically, for example. Alternatively, or in addition, the destination may also be entered via voice input or character recognition (e.g., a character recognition system for identifying Asiatic characters). A location may be selected on a map, a satellite image, and/or a 3-D graphical representation, etc. In this case, a zoom function for the map, the satellite image, and/or the 3-D graphical representation may be provided. It may be provided that an operator of the motor vehicle may search for a particular object (e.g., restaurant, landmark, store, gas station, etc.) in a particular area (e.g., road, city, postal code, district, etc.), and select a navigational destination from the available hits (e.g., in a map, in a satellite image, and/or in a 3-D graphical representation, etc.). The starting point is the current position of the motor vehicle. However, the starting point may also be selectable.

This includes, for example: the option of searching online for POI's and locating these on a map, on a satellite image, and/or in a 3-D graphical representation, etc.; the option of searching for stores, shops or restaurants and having a look at the selection or the menu; the option of searching for particular articles and finding stores in which they are offered; the option of storing the preferences, preferred locations, and/or preferred routes of a user; and/or the option of finding interesting routes; etc.
- Suitable hits may be put into the suggested route, possibly as destinations.
- The suggested route may be displayed in a form integrated into a satellite image or into a three-dimensional graphical representation, and/or transmitted to the motor vehicle in this form, using the off-board navigation system. A satellite image or a 3-D graphical representation may be transmitted from the environment of the motor vehicle to the motor vehicle. The man-machine interface arranged in the motor vehicle may include a display device, e.g., a touch screen, for displaying the suggested route in a form integrated into a/the satellite image or into a/the 3-D graphical representation. In this context, it may be provided that an operator may adjust the viewing angle (e.g., from a plan or overhead view to a first-person view via a bird's-eye view, and vice versa).
- With regard to the transmission of the suggested route into a satellite image and/or a 3-D graphical representation or a different set of map data, or with regard to the transmission of satellite images and/or 3-D graphical representations or other sets of map information for displaying the suggested route, the following strategies referred to as predictive catching, tunnel vision, and profile-based prediction may be provided. In the case of predictive catching, only satellite images and/or three-dimensional graphical representations or other map data that are needed are transmitted. If the motor vehicle is in North America, for example, then European map data are not transmitted. In the case of the “tunnel vision” strategy, only satellite images and/or 3-D graphical representations or other map data along the suggested route are transmitted with a high information density. On the other hand, satellite images and/or 3-D graphical representations or other map data on the periphery of the route are transmitted with a low information density. In the case of the “profile-based prediction” strategy, satellite images and/or 3-D graphical representations or other map data are transmitted in a form adjusted to the preferences of an operator.
- It may be provided that the operator is offered the option of looking at the suggested route in advance (fly-through mode).
- The man-machine interface may include a touch screen or take the form of a touch screen. In this context, e.g., it may be provided that displayed objects are able to be moved with the aid of a drag-and-drop option. A double-tap function may also be provided for implementing a zoom function.
