According to the invention, the endless route is calculated and compiled from route portions using the following criteria: • i) the distance of the respective route portion from the destination and ii) the probability of finding a parking space on the respective route portion within a specified time span. Furthermore, the successively set route portions of the endless route are selected in a weighted manner when calculation and compiling the endless route using the relevance of each criteria i) and ii).
