  • Publication number: 20230021643
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has at least one driver assistance system and a navigation system that generates a three-dimensional map and a route-related navigation representation when route guidance is activated by the navigation system. When the at least one driver assistance system is activated, sensor data describing the surroundings of the motor vehicle are acquired by at least one sensor unit of the motor vehicle according to a data acquisition rule of the driver assistance system. The acquired sensor data is evaluated to generate at least one driver assistance related additional information representation. The map with the route-related navigation representation and the driver assistance related additional information representation are output by a display device in the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9019173
    Abstract: A technique for controlling a navigation device to generate a navigation maneuver graphics for a road junction maneuver is proposed. A device embodiment of this technique comprises a routing module adapted to provide routing information pertaining to a scheduled route, with the scheduled route comprising the road junction. Furthermore, an interface to a map database is provided, with the map database containing road data pertaining to the upcoming road junction. A processor of the navigation device analyzes the road data to determine one or more junction geometry parameters of the road junction and to compose, based on the junction geometry parameters and from a plurality of pre-defined graphical junction elements, junction graphics data representative of the road junction. The processor is further adapted to generate, from the routing information and the junction geometry parameters, maneuver indication graphics data representative of the junction maneuver.
