Abstract
A method for enabling a route for automated driving operation of a vehicle involves enabling a route ahead of the vehicle for automated driving operation of the vehicle if it is determined, using a digital map, which is used during automated driving operation for landmark-based localization of the vehicle, that there are landmarks present along the route which, with regard to their suitability for longitudinal and transverse localization of the vehicle, fulfil requirements which are predefined according to a course of the route.
