Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the navigation of at least one self-driving floor treatment device (1, 2, 3, 4), preferably a plurality of floor treatment devices (1, 2, 3, 4), wherein the drives of each floor treatment device (1, 2, 3, 4) are controlled in accordance with obstacle information of obstacles detected by the floor treatment device (1, 2, 3, 4), wherein obstacles are at least formed by real objects, the obstacle information of which is sensed by means of sensors on the particular floor treatment device (1, 2, 3, 4), and wherein each floor treatment device (1, 2, 3, 4) records environment images at points (6) along the motion path at time intervals and/or spatial distances by means of a camera that is carried along, wherein a topological map is formed in a database (5), to which map a node is added by a particular floor treatment device (1, 2, 3, 4) for each point (E, 6) at which an environment image is recorded, with which node at least the environment image is associated, and links (V) are
