20. A method for storing position data for use in a navigation information service system comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a current position of a user unit using a position-finding system;
allocating the current position a title; and
storing the current position with the allocated title in a memory of the user unit when a stop lasts for longer than a predetermined time period, wherein the stored position can be selected with the aid of the allocated title, and different adjustable time period values can be selected for the predetermined time period for identifying that the user unit has stopped, wherein the predetermined time period is used together with an operating state of the vehicle to distinguish between a traffic-related stop for which the current position is not to be stored and a voluntary stop for which the current position is to be stored. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
