A method of inputting a navigation destination into a navigation device, where a place name of the navigation destination is entered, where in the event that there are, in a navigation database, a plurality of navigation destinations having the same place name, supplemental information is output for the plurality of navigation destinations, allowing differentiation of the navigation destinations in each case. With this method, the supplemental information includes information about the direction and/or distance from a nearby or nearest prominent point. A navigation database for performing the method, in which position coordinates, in particular central point position coordinates, are stored for each stored navigation destination and for each of the prominent points which may be output as part of the supplemental information.
