Abstract

A motor vehicle has a drive motor and a navigation system having a display for displaying a map image. The power consumption is displayable on the map image to optimize the power consumption of the drive motor.

Claims (23)

1. A motor vehicle, comprising:

a navigation system having a display for displaying a map image, including a travel route of the vehicle,

wherein a current power consumption of the drive motor is superimposed on the travel route of the vehicle on the map image of the display.

2. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the current power consumption is displayable using numbers.

3. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the map image is a two-dimensional map image.

4. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a height profile of a travel route is displayable on the map image of the display.

5. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a type of traveled roads is displayable on the map image of the display.

6. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a velocity range is displayable on the map image of the display.

7. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of traveled routes are storable in the navigation system in a personalized form.

8. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a power consumption expected for an upcoming travel route is displayable on the map image of the display.

9. The motor vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein a control unit is adapted to ascertain an optimum power consumption for an upcoming stretch of the travel route, and the image of the display is adapted to display an actual power consumption identified by a color as a function of the optimum power consumption.

10. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the current power consumption is presented as a speech communication.

11. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the current power consumption is displayable using colors.

12. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the map image is a three-dimensional map image.

13. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the velocities along particular travel routes are stored to analyze whether power consumption can be optimized.

14. The motor vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein the velocities along particular travel routes are stored in personalized form.

15. A navigation system for a motor vehicle, the system comprising:

a display for displaying a travel route of the vehicle,

wherein a height profile of the travel route is displayable on the display,

wherein a current power consumption of a drive motor is superimposed on the travel route of the vehicle on a map image of the display.

16. The navigation system according to claim 15 , wherein the display of the power consumption is implemented by coloring the travel route various colors based on a level of power consumption.

17. The motor vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the velocities along particular travel routes are stored to analyze whether power consumption can be optimized.

18. The motor vehicle according to claim 17 , wherein the velocities along particular travel routes are stored in personalized form.
