Zusammenfassung:A method of performing a similarity search in a navigation device data base uses a metric index structure. The index structure includes a plurality of nodes. When a query object is received, a node of the index structure which is associated with at least one object is accessed.

Based on the determined distance, another node of the index structure is selectively accessed.
