A vehicle takes and evaluates an image of the surroundings of the vehicle. If the result of the evaluation is that the image possibly contains a static object that could be suitable as a landmark, then the image and a position of the vehicle ascertained by the vehicle at the location at which the image is taken are transmitted to a data processing station. Image analysis of the received image allows the data processing station to establish whether the supposedly static object is suitable as a landmark. When the object has been verified as a landmark, the data processing station creates a data record describing the object, which data record is transmitted to the vehicle.
