Method for providing information about a parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50), comprising the steps of: - capturing, by a capture device, feature data for the parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50); - storing, by a vehicle-external information device, the feature data; - transmitting the feature data from the information device to a navigation device which is used by a driver of a second vehicle to look for a parking space for the second vehicle, characterised in that a) input data with an evaluation of the parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50) are received, by the capture device by means of an input device, at least as part of the feature data from a driver of a first vehicle parked in the parking space, wherein the feature data of the parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50) captured by the capture device describe an environmental influence to which the first vehicle parked in the parking space was exposed, the environmental influence being insolation on the first vehicle and/or a degree of icing on an exterior surface of the first vehicle, and wherein the feature data further include a time statement concerning when the first vehicle was exposed to the environmental influence, and b) a time statement input is received by the driver of the second vehicle by means of the navigation device indicating for which period of time the second vehicle will probably be parked in the parking space, and c) it is checked, by the navigation device, which feature data are relevant to the driver of the second vehicle, the feature data being checked for relevance to the driver of the second vehicle based on when the driver wishes to park the second vehicle in the parking space, and, using the time statement input data, significant feature data are systematically compiled for the potential parking spaces. - capturing, by a capture device, feature data for the parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50); - storing, by a vehicle-external information device, the feature data; - transmitting the feature data from the information device to a navigation device which is used by a driver of a second vehicle to look for a parking space for the second vehicle, a) input data with an evaluation of the parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50) are received, by the capture device by means of an input device, at least as part of the feature data from a driver of a first vehicle parked in the parking space, wherein the feature data of the parking space (26, 44, 46, 48, 50) captured by the capture device describe an environmental influence to which the first vehicle parked in the parking space was exposed, the environmental influence being insolation on the first vehicle and/or a degree of icing on an exterior surface of the first vehicle, and wherein the feature data further include a time statement concerning when the first vehicle was exposed to the environmental influence, and b) a time statement input is received by the driver of the second vehicle by means of the navigation device indicating for which period of time the second vehicle will probably be parked in the parking space, and c) it is checked, by the navigation device, which feature data are relevant to the driver of the second vehicle, the feature data being checked for relevance to the driver of the second vehicle based on when the driver wishes to park the second vehicle in the parking space, and, using the time statement input data, significant feature data are systematically compiled for the potential parking spaces.
