Abstract

A method and arrangement for obtaining a card representation from sections of roads which are digitized (20) from a first data base and digitized three-dimensional objects (30) from a second data base are disclosed, wherein the geographical coordinations of a section of road are compared to those of an object. If the section of road and the object overlap, a displacement occurs. A navigation device displays such a representation on a display.
