Abstract

The navigation device is provided with a device for display of advertisements in a scene of a particular region or area. The navigation device has a processor (1,12), a memory (2,13), a positioning device (3,14), an optical display (5,16), an acoustic display (8,19), a receiver (6,17) and an input device (9,20). The scenes displayed by the navigation device are either actual scenes for an area or region in which the navigation is located or simulated scenes. The data for the display of the scene are either loaded from a data or information-bearing medium, such as a CD-ROM, or received by means of the receiver. Particular objects in the displayed scene may be connected with additional information which can be requested by the user by the input device. The number of objects, which particularly have advertisements, are established according to the speed of the vehicle containing the navigation device and the position of the navigation device. The navigation device can also be provided with a bus for convenient connection of the components.
