The approach presented here relates to a method for detecting a group runtime variation for a navigation sensor for a navigation system for a vehicle. The method comprises a step of reading and a step of determining. In the reading step, at least one first GNSS simulator signal is read from a virtual satellite of a virtual global navigation satellite system at a first time and a second GNSS simulator signal is read from the virtual satellite or from at least one second virtual satellite of the virtual navigation satellite system at a second time different to the first time by means of a read device. The group runtime variation is determined using the first GNSS simulator signal and the second GNSS simulator signal in the determining step.
