Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010075827A1] The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for navigating a means of transportation along a primary route, which comprises blocked paths (ES-EE), partial paths (ES'-EE') or path points (E). The method comprises the following steps: - inputting a blocked path (ES-EE), a blocked partial path (ES'-EE') or a blocked path points (E) along the primary route (R) by means of an input device (02); - calculating at least one possible alternative route (u) for partially bypassing or bypassing the blocked path (ES-EE), partial path (ES'-EE') or path point (E) of the primary route (R) by means of a routing algorithm; - depicting a list of the possible alternative routes (u) by means of an output device (06); - selecting one of the possible alternative routes (u) by means of a route selection means (10); - and defining a new primary route (R') using the selected alternative route (u) for further navigation. The invention enables the user to manually select alternative routes to blocked sections of a primary route according to individually criteria easily and without great effort.
