Patent Images
1. A navigation device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a system adapted to obtain position data about a current position of the vehicle;
a data store adapted to provide navigation data;
a route determination system adapted to use the position data, the navigation data, and a destination setting to plan a travel route;
an output system adapted to output information about the travel route; and
a traffic sign recognition system adapted to detect traffic signs in the vicinity of the current position;
wherein the route determination system is further adapted to determine an alternative route, if the traffic sign recognition system detects a traffic sign that prevents travel along the travel route.
