1. A method for generating a surroundings map of a surrounding area of a motor vehicle comprising:

  • detecting an object in the surrounding area using a sensor device of the motor vehicle;

    determining a position value that describes a position of the object on the basis of sensor data of the sensor device, using by means of a control device of the motor vehicle;

    transferring the determined position value into the surroundings map; and

    determining a vector between the object and a predetermined reference point of the motor vehicle that forms an origin of a vehicle coordinate system, the determined vector being transformed from the vehicle coordinate system into a global coordinate system of the surroundings map,wherein the position value in the surroundings map is determined on the basis of the transformed vector,wherein the origin of the vehicle coordinate system is transformed into the global coordinate system and the transformed origin of the vehicle coordinate system is indicated in the surroundings map, andwherein on the basis of the transformed origin of the vehicle coordinate system, an area for indicating the position value in the global coordinate system is predetermined.
