A motor vehicle navigation system arrangement includes a receiver for receiving information from a navigation system and an evaluation unit connected with the receiver for evaluating received navigation data and determining the current position of the vehicle. In addition, a country-determining arrangement is connected to the evaluation unit to determine from the position data the country in which the vehicle is currently located and a control unit sets vehicle parameters in accordance with the requirements of that country.
