Abstract

The invention relates to a method for inputting destination data into a navigation system as well as a mobile terminal and a navigation system for executing this method. The mobile terminal having a short range wireless interface is brought into contact with the navigation system. The mobile terminal selects at least one data record including data concerning an address. Then, it transfers the at least one data record via the short range interface to the navigation system. The navigation system extracts from the received data record destination data capable to be used as source for a destination processed by the navigation system.
