    abstract     = "The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the possibilities of using {GPS} for technical surveying in a Greenlandic municipality. In order to cover as many different types of jobs as possible, the focus is set on Real Time Kinematic (RTK) {GPS}.

The first chapters deals with basic terms and methods of {GPS} measuments and the theory behind the processing of {GPS} observations is introduced.

Then, based on practical experiments elements as accuracy, radio coverage and potential strengths and weaknesses are discussed. 

The work includes setting up a permanent {GPS} reference station, testing the radio coverage of the reference station and the accuracy of {RTK} measuments, evaluating the accuracy of the excisting benchmarks and discussing the potential of {RTK} with local administrators and building contractors.

The main conclusion of this thesis is that Real Time Kinematic {GPS} is found to be a promising tool for technical surveying since it offers accuracies quite similar to traditional surveying and at the same time it is quicker and more manpower efficient."
