A method for predicting the availability of feature-based localization of a vehicle. The method includes: receiving map data from a feature map of a road traffic network; ascertaining, on the basis of the feature information from the feature map, features for at least one roadway to be used by the vehicle; calculating an availability value for the features of the at least one roadway to be used by the vehicle with respect to an availability criterion; and outputting availability information that includes the availability value and relates to the features of the roadway to be used.
