The invention relates to a location and mapping device intended for being installed in a mobile vehicle in an environment comprising a plurality of zones, with: a receiving module () designed to receive data of the position (d(a)) of obstacles relative to the vehicle; a processing module () designed to determine, in accordance with the data received (d(a)) and for a plurality of zones positioned relative to the vehicle, measurement values (M_SCAN) that respectively represent a likelihood of occupation of the zone in question, a likelihood of non-occupation of the zone in question and a likelihood of not knowing the zone in question; a mapping module () designed to build, for each zone of said plurality of zones of the environment, values (M_GRI) which respectively represent a likelihood of occupation of the zone in question, a likelihood of non-occupation of the zone in question and a likelihood of not knowing the zone in question; and a location module () designed to determine the position of the vehicle in the environment, which maximizes a measurement of correspondence between the measurement values (M_SCAN) and the built values (M_GRI). The invention also describes an associated method.
