Subject of geodesy. Branches of geodesy. Plan and Map. Estonian Base Map. The shape and size of the Earth. Basics of the measurement errors theory. Main geodetic instruments. Point position determination means. Scale. Frames. Orientation of lines. Geometric levelling. Simple levelling. Differential levelling. Checking and adjusting levels. Theodolites, their classification and construction. Measurement of the horizontal and vertical angle. Trigonometric levelling. Geodetic counter task. Computation of the closed traverse. Tachometric survey. Compiling a plan. Construction of contours. Geodetic marking works. Straightening of posts, determination of verticality. Total stations.

The objective is providing basic knowledge in the field of geodesy. During the course the main geodetic works are dealt with. Work methods of instruments, checking and adjusting them, compiling an area plan are taught.

Having successfully passed the course, the student:
- can independently make the detail net computations and carry out a planimetric survey of
the ground;
-can compile an area plan.

Lectures, seminars, practical classes, group work, independent work
