Abstract

In a method and systems for selecting traffic information services that are receivable by at least one mobile receiver and are relevant for a route previously determined by a navigational device linked to at least one receiver, service information, which identifies the services having traffic messages relevant for the route, is read out from a stored list for the determined route. In the case of a plurality of services, a table is created that includes the read-out service information, which is sorted according to a valuation and is able to be modified as the route is followed. A receiver is set, in each case, to the highest-rated service.
