Navigation apparatus for a vehicle, having the following features: a data provider designed to provide data of a three-dimensional navigation map having elevated map objects; and a processor designed to take an ascertained position of a vehicle as a basis for obtaining data of a three-dimensional navigation map having elevated map objects for surroundings of the vehicle from the data provider and to provide a display signal representing the navigation map for a display device for reproducing the navigation map, wherein the processor is designed to generate the display signal, so that the navigation map is reproducible by the display device as seen from a viewing position that is dependent on the ascertained position of the vehicle and arranged above the navigation map, wherein the processor is designed to dynamically alter a height of an elevated map object in the navigation map on the basis of a distance of the elevated map object from the viewing position, wherein the processor is designed to generate the display signal, so that an object of interest is depicted in highlight, the object of interest being in an area of the navigation map having map objects having altered heights, wherein the object of interest is an object in an object category of interest, the object of interest being a building of interest, characterized in that the object of interest is the object of interest that can be reached most quickly from a preferred route of travel among the objects in the object category of interest, wherein the building is a multistorey carpark for vehicles, and wherein the processor is designed to generate the display signal, so that a level of the multistorey carpark having free parking spaces is shown. a data provider designed to provide data of a three-dimensional navigation map having elevated map objects; and a processor designed to take an ascertained position of a vehicle as a basis for obtaining data of a three-dimensional navigation map having elevated map objects for surroundings of the vehicle from the data provider and to provide a display signal representing the navigation map for a display device for reproducing the navigation map, wherein the processor is designed to generate the display signal, so that the navigation map is reproducible by the display device as seen from a viewing position that is dependent on the ascertained position of the vehicle and arranged above the navigation map, wherein the processor is designed to dynamically alter a height of an elevated map object in the navigation map on the basis of a distance of the elevated map object from the viewing position, wherein the processor is designed to generate the display signal, so that an object of interest is depicted in highlight, the object of interest being in an area of the navigation map having map objects having altered heights, wherein the object of interest is an object in an object category of interest, the object of interest being a building of interest, characterized in that the object of interest is the object of interest that can be reached most quickly from a preferred route of travel among the objects in the object category of interest, wherein the building is a multistorey carpark for vehicles, and wherein the processor is designed to generate the display signal, so that a level of the multistorey carpark having free parking spaces is shown.
