Original Abstract Submitted
A method for aligning a first map section of a digital road map with a second map section of the digital road map that at least partially overlaps the first map section. The method includes: determining that a first relative rotation between the two map sections cannot be unambiguously ascertained; ascertaining a second relative rotation between a third map section of the digital road map and a fourth map section of the digital road map that at least partially overlaps the third map section, wherein the third map section and the fourth map section are adjacent to the first map section and to the second map section; aligning the first map section with the second map section; wherein the alignment includes ascertaining a relative rotation between the first map section and the second map section based on the ascertained second relative rotation.
