Abstract
A method of and device for selection or entry of a destination in a motor vehicle navigation system. The selection of a destination designation from a stored destination list or the entry of the destination designation is effected by selecting letter positions of the destination designation in a stepwise manner with a first component of a manual input element, and by running the alphabet through, per letter position, at a speed or step size which can be varied as desired until the desired letter is reached with a second component of a manual input element. The acknowledgement of the selected letters or numbers is effected by means of an optical display and, in particular, acoustically by means of vocal output.
