Special destinations stored in the database are each linked to one or more connecting nodes, for example motorway exits. Each special destination has, for each connecting node linked thereto, at least one associated first total route, connecting the special destination and the connecting node to one another, and an associated total route length. At least in the event of the first total route having a use restriction, the special destination and the connecting node also have at least one associated second total route that, at least for one restriction parameter, has lesser use restrictions.
