1. A method for managing a traffic-relevant event in a vehicle-based navigation system, comprising:
- detecting an event associated with at least one road segment of a route from at least one of an event horizon of a vehicle and an event horizon of a driver;
storing information representing the event;
analyzing the event;
processing the analyzed event in order to provide an up-to-date route plan; and
enabling a dialog between the driver and the vehicle-based navigation system if the driver abandons a route suggested by the vehicle-based navigation system to make an empirical observation of the driver concerning the at least one road segment available to the vehicle-based navigation system for a driver-specific route planning;
wherein the dialog is used to record a reason why the driver has deviated from the route.

Abstract
A method and a device are described for managing traffic-relevant events in a vehicle-based navigation system. A traffic information database, which can be updated by the driver in particular through prioritized driver queries initiated by the system concerning the traffic situation is managed in the navigation system. Thus observations made by the driver during his trip can be stored in the database as traffic information and used for updated route planning.
