1. A method for generating dynamic information about a change to a route plan for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
when a location of a deviation between an original route, from a starting point to a destination, and an alternative route to the destination is situated at a predefined distance outside an edge of a visible map section displayed on a display, providing a voice notification that a change has been made to the route plan; and
when the location of the deviation between the original route and the alternative route is situated beyond the predefined distance outside the edge of the visible map section displayed on the display, refraining, until the location of the deviation between the original route and the alternative route is situated at the predefined distance outside the edge of the visible map section displayed on the display, from providing the voice notification that the change has been made to the route plan in order to reduce driver distraction, wherein the predefined distance is greater than 10% of a vertical image height of the visible map section displayed on the display.
