Examination of possibilities in using geodetic (survey) instruments of the same specifications, but different technical performances is always an interesting geodetic topic. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the accuracy of special purposes leveling networks where height differences were measured with Koni 007 CZJ and Leica DNA 03 levels. Obtained results showed that both leveling results fulfill the required conditions of precision leveling, but the preference is given to level DNA 03.

During the last few years a completely new method for land and object surveying was devloped. Using unmanned aerial vehicle, it is possible to survey a large areas in very short period of time with high accuraccy. Although there are still many uncertainties, it is inevitable that this method represents the future in geodesy and its areas. This paper defines a method for land surveying using SenseFly eBee drone and proccess of creating point cloud, digital model of relief and digital ortofoto map. Using NSSDA standard for spatial data accuraccy on drone products, it was concluded that accuraccy of given results depends on the ground resolution, terrain relief and weather conditions.

Federal Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs has implemented the project of creating a real estate cadastre database for most of the municipalities of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) during recent years. It has brought various changes in the work of cadastral offices. This article describes these changes, which were not occurred in the former practice of maintaining the cadastral records.

General map of Bosnia and Herzegovina at scale 1:150 000 published by the Military Geographical Institute of Vienna. is one of the most important maps made on the basis of the first systematic geodetic survey of B&H. Based on the analysis of the original cartographic documents and other available data, the paper presents the most important details that characterize this map. The elements of the map are analyzed in details after a brief historical review of the circumstances that led to the creation of the map. A brief comparison of solutions adopted on this map, with those of the previous 1: 300 000 scale map, is also given in the paper. Based on the conducted research it was concluded that the General map of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the first true modern topographic map of the country. This map is a cartographic heritage of exceptional value.

The fortress Kaštel (Fenarlik), located between Novi Travnik and Bugojno, probably was built in the period of middle ages. Concerning cartographic sources, it first appeared in 1883. Geodetic plans and maps from the 19th and 20th century credibly documented deterioration of the fortress remains. At first, it clearly displayed a ruin, while ultimately toponym Kaštel was the only preserved. Authors of this paper tried to identify and consolidate all relevant cartographic sources that represent the place Kaštel, together with the analysis of topographing the medieval fortresses.

Troposphere plays crucial role for geodetic comunity, which can primarly be seen in its influence on GNSS observations. At the same time, troposhpere is the place where almost all hidrometeorological phenomena that effect our everyday life occure. Scientists have found a way to use systematic influence that troposphere has on GNSS signal and turn it into meteorological indicator, water vapor quantity. In this paper term of GNSS meteorology is described, as well as its basic classification and application.

During the six millennia of the existence of the civilization on the Earth, surveying techniques have been experienced difficult foreseeable changes. The definition and role of geodesy have been changing accordingly. Geodesy has evolved from its original classic definition that "studying the movements of celestial bodies, the shape and dimensions of the Earth" in the "science which, beside it noted above, studies its changes and complex dynamic processes that ongoing inside the Earth, on the surface, above its surfaces, and evironment. The paper is overview of the geodetic techniques and the surveying instruments, cadastre and cartography in the ancien civilizations: Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, antic Greece, ancient Rome, to the Europeans, from the 17th century to modern times. A detailed description devoted to surveying and geodetic works in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from the time of Ottoman Empire, through the Austro-Hungarian survey, to the modern achievements Global Geodetic Observing System-GGOS, the main component of the International Association of Geodesy described at the end.
