Abstract

A method is described for updating a digital map for vehicle navigation. The method includes a step of determining an adjustment signal for adjusting a detection range of an environment sensor of a vehicle to a section of an environment of the vehicle that corresponds to an area of the digital map to be updated, using an item of information about the area to be updated, and the method including a step of supplying area data for updating the digital map, the area data representing an image of the section of the environment detected by the environment sensor.
