Abstract: A method for operating a navigation system of a motor vehicle, wherein upon reception of a destination data record containing a geodetic position and a first address associated with the position. Based on digital map data stored in the navigation system test addresses are created and are geodetically assigned, wherein the test addresses contain at least a street name and are located in the destination region of the position. A second address is selected from the test addresses that with regard to at least one character string describing the test address deviates the least from said first address, wherein, after the level of discrepancy of the second address as compared to the first address is determined to be less than or equal to a maximum value, the navigation system navigates to the second address.
