Abstract

A method for distributing navigation map data to a plurality of work machines which are part of a network of work machines and perform work orders in this network, wherein the navigation map data are needed in the work machines to carry out the work orders, and work orders are planned on the basis of navigation map data, includes detecting work orders for work machines, which work orders exist in the network and were planned on the basis of old navigation map data. The method includes checking the work orders which exist in the network in order to determine whether these work orders can be carried out with new navigation map data, and terminating work orders which cannot be carried out with new navigation map data. The new navigation map data is then installed.
