Abstract

This invention relates to a navigation device (200) comprising a processor (210), a store (230) for map data, means (322) to access one or more types of additional information for use in route computation and a multiple route computation module (490) arranged to determine a first route from a start location to a destination location using the map data and one or more types of additional information and to determine one or more additional routes using the map data and fewer, or different, types of additional information from the first route.
