Operating navigation device involves generating direction signal for user if predefined reference navigation device axis is currently pointing in direction in which predefined route leads, starting from current position of navigation device

摘要

The navigation device (2) has a compass (6) with which a user of the navigation device is guided along a route. The method involves generating a direction signal for the user if a predefined reference axis of the navigation device is currently pointing in a direction in which the predefined route leads, starting from a current position of the navigation device. An independent claim is also included for a computer program for implementing the inventive method.
