Due to various reasons the interest in the practical use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has considerably increased during the last two years. The test phase has demonstrated its outstanding performance. With the differential method the relative accuracies achieve values that open its use even for the precision approach of aircraft landing. The development of new techniques also allows 3-dimensional attitude measurement and angular rate determination. Diverse civilian groups will use GPS in the future; in particular motor car drivers, geodesists, civil engineers etc. The present state of development and various practical applications are discussed.
