Résumé : Class II methanol (CH$_{3}$OH) masers are amongst the clearest signposts of recent high-mass star formation (HMSF). A complete catalogue outlines the distribution of star formation in the Galaxy, the number of young star-forming cores, and the physical conditions of their environment. The Global View on Star Formation (GLOSTAR) survey, which is a blind survey in the radio regime of 4$-$8 GHz, maps the Galactic mid-plane in the radio continuum, 6.7 GHz methanol line, the 4.8 GHz formaldehyde line, and several radio recombination lines. We present the analysis of the observations of the 6.7 GHz CH$_{3}$OH maser transition using data from the D-configuration of the Very Large Array (VLA). We analyse the data covering Galactic longitudes from $-2^{\circ}< l <60^{\circ}$ and Galactic latitudes of $|\textit{b}|<1^{\circ}$. We detect a total of 554 methanol masers, out of which 84 are new, and catalogue their positions, velocity components, and integrated fluxes. With a typical noise level of $\sim$18 mJy beam$^{-1}$, this is the most sensitive unbiased methanol survey for methanol masers to date. We search for dust continuum and radio continuum associations, and find that 97% of the sources are associated with dust, and 12% are associated with radio continuum emission.
