A method for mapping a route section. The method includes providing a central mapping server equipped with a server-side communication interface; providing at least one fleet vehicle of a vehicle fleet equipped with at least one sensor which is suitable for detecting mapping data, and with a vehicle-side communication interface, the server-side communication interface and the vehicle-side communication interface being configured to exchange data; making a mapping decision by decision-making logic implemented on the mapping server, and transmitting an individual mapping request which is based on the mapping decision to the at least one fleet vehicle, it being possible for the mapping request to include different pieces of information for individual fleet vehicles; and transmitting mapping data from the at least one fleet vehicle to the mapping server as a function of the individual mapping request and the use of the mapping data during the mapping of the route section.
