Abstract: A system includes a vehicle and an induction charging unit, where the induction charging unit includes a primary coil and the vehicle includes a secondary coil. During a charging operation in a charging position, electric power is inductively transmissible from the primary coil to the secondary coil, in the charging position, the secondary coil being situated in a preferred spatial position area with respect to the primary coil, such that, for setting the charging position, by means of electromagnetic distance and angle measuring, by triangulation, the system detects a location position which describes a time-dependent spatial position of the secondary coil with respect to the primary coil. Moreover, by means of the location position and the charging position, the system detects at least a partial travel trajectory, along which the location position of the charging position can be approximated.
