Patent ID: 7698056

Claim:
A method for inputting input data into a vehicle navigation device, by which the input data are supplied to the vehicle navigation device via a receive interface and the input data are subjected to a plausibility check, the method comprising the acts of: performing the plausibility check on hierarchically higher-ranking data of hierarchically structured address data block; in an event of a negative plausibility check, emitting a first prompt to a user for correcting the input data before the plausibility of hierarchically lower-ranking data of the address data block is checked; based on the first prompt, correcting the input data by the user via an operating device; and importing the corrected input data into the vehicle navigation device; following said the correction input data, checking the plausibility of the hierarchically lower-ranking data in the address data block; emitting a second prompt to the user for correcting the input data in the event the plausibility check corresponding to the lower-ranking data is negative; correcting the input data corresponding to the hierarchically lower-ranking data by the user via the operating device based on the second prompt.
