Abstract
A navigation system for a motor vehicle includes at least one storage device, at least one navigation map being stored on each storage device, which is read out using a reading device. Associated with the reading device is a changeover device for exchanging storage devices that are to be read out by the reading device. A navigation map and information regarding the instantaneous position of the motor vehicle are displayed to a vehicle occupant via a display device. A control device for the changeover device controls the changeover device so that a point in time for changing over the storage device is identifiable so that during the changeover operation of the storage device, a deviation of the motor vehicle from the route segment currently being traveled is improbable based on the current navigation data of the motor vehicle.

15. A method for operating a navigation system for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
-
displaying navigation map data, which are stored on a storage device together with navigation data of the motor vehicle, for a vehicle occupant;
performing a changeover of a storage device when the motor vehicle, as a result of its motion, moves out of a region of the navigation map that is stored on the storage device currently being used by the navigation system; and
selecting a point in time for the changeover of the storage device so that during a changeover operation of the storage device, a deviation of the motor vehicle from a route segment currently being traveled is improbable based on current navigation data of the motor vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
