Patent ID: 8655587

Claim:
A procedure for guiding a user of a navigation device that is radiolocation-aided, especially satellite-aided, along a route displayed on the navigation device for seeking parking places on a road in the vicinity of a destination, wherein, in the navigation device, a continuous-loop route is computed along a route plan about the destination by sequentially adding an additional stretch of the route to a previous stretch of the route; and the user is guided along this continuous-loop route in the navigation device until the user has found a parking place on the road, wherein the continuous-loop route and compilation of the same as stretches of the route are calculated using the criteria: i) a distance of a particular section of the road from the destination; and ii) a probability of finding the parking place on the particular section of the road within a certain time span; and wherein, in calculating the continuous-loop route in the navigation device, the stretches of the route that are set next to each other are weighted using the relevance of the criteria i) and ii).
