Abstract

Method for determining the location of a date recorded by a motor vehicle (40), comprising the steps: - Recording (10) at least one data point (ED) by an environmental sensor (42) of the motor vehicle (40); - Determining (11) additional data (PD, UD) that enable location determination of at least one recorded data (ED), wherein the additional data (PD, UD) include at least local environmental data with information on visual landmarks recorded by the environmental sensors (42) of the motor vehicle (40); - Generation (13) of a data package (DP) by linking the additional data (PD, UD) with the at least one recorded data (ED), wherein the scope of the additional data (PD, UD) in a data package (DP) depends on the type of the at least one recorded data (ED); and - automatically or in response to a request, transmitting (14) the data packet (DP) to a backend (83).
