The invention relates to a method for navigating an industrial truck in a predetermined area with the following method steps:



providing a map of the predetermined area with at least one permanent landmark,
entering a temporary landmark in the map, when the temporary landmark is created,
deleting the temporary landmark from the map when the temporary landmark is removed, and
navigating the industrial truck in the predetermined area on the basis of the map having the permanent landmark and the temporary landmark.




In this way, the navigating of a preferably autonomously or partly autonomously driving industrial truck in a predetermined area, such as at a depot, is improved and in particular is made safer and more reliable.
