The test phase of the Global Positioning System has demonstrated its outstanding performance. With the differential method the relative accuracies achieve values that open its use even for the precision approach of a/c landing. The development of new techniques allows the 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. This review paper describes the present state of development and discusses the various practical applications.
