Abstract: A method of evaluating traffic information transmitted by a traffic information service, in which data on the traffic situation on a route to be traveled in the present direction of travel is received and, from the data on the traffic situation, an anticipated delay in journey time on the route to be travelled is calculated. In order to avoid unnecessary waiting in traffic hold-ups it is provided that the size of the calculated anticipated delay in journey time together with a recommendation to interrupt the journey is displayed if the anticipated delay in journey time in the present direction is greater than a given value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of evaluating traffic information transmitted by a traffic information service, in which data on the traffic situation on a route to be travelled in the present direction of travel is received and from the data on the traffic situation an anticipated delay in journey time on the route to be travelled is calculated. In order to avoid unnecessary waiting in traffic hold-ups it is provided that the size of the calculated anticipated delay in journey time together with a recommendation to interrupt the journey is displayed if the anticipated delay in journey time in the present direction is greater than a given value.

Abstract: When heading for an intermediate destination during navigation e.g. of a motor vehicle along a preset travel route to a travel destination using a navigation device (11), a category of intermediate destination is imparted to the navigation device, and it is informed after what time the intermediate destination is to be reached. During navigation along the travel route the navigation device will then automatically select and head for an intermediate destination of the named category which can be reached at the given time.
