A device for anticipatory and predictive operation of a motor vehicle, which has a drive-train control system (5) by which drive-relevant components of the drive-train (1) are adjustable, and with at least one detection system (8) by which a travel route and an anticipated driving time between a starting point and a destination, and a current position of the vehicle at the time, are determinable, such that by the detection system (8) and on a basis of topographical information, a driving resistance profile for the travel route can be prepared in order to parameterize the drive-train control system (5) in such manner that the travel route can be covered in a specifiable manner, and
- the drive-train control system (5) being designed for at least one of manual input and telematic input and processing of information or being connectable to a telematic device (9), and as a result of the information received, the drive-train control system being automatically re-parameterized, for which process at least information about a desired variation of either an arrival time or a travel route is usable.
