Abstract
A method provides information relating to a parking space. Reliable information is transmitted relative to one or more parking spaces, to provide the information to a driver of a vehicle. A detection device detects feature-related data of a parking space which describe an environmental influence to which a first vehicle parked in the parking space was exposed, and/or which describe an event that has taken place in the parking space and/or that describe a geographical location of the parking space. The feature-related data are stored by an information unit outside the vehicle. An information device then transmits the feature-related data to a navigation device by which the driver of a second vehicle searches for a parking space for the second vehicle.
