Syllabus

1. Introduction.

2. Collecting of available geodetic data for given real locality.

3. Basic measuring methods of horizontal and vertical data acquisition (determining the position and height of the point, measuring the longitudinal profile). In particular, technical leveling and measurement of angles and lengths with a total station.
