Claim One:
1. A method for precisely determining the position offset and orientation offset of a second deployment, defined by a second position and a second orientation, in relation to a first deployment, defined by a first position and a first orientation, of a geodetic surveying device having a laser rangefinding functionality and an angle measurement functionality, wherein the first deployment and the second deployment are situated in the same measurement environment, comprising the following steps: recording with the geodetic surveying device a second image of the environment of at least a second contiguous region of the measurement environment from the second deployment, matching image elements of the second image of the environment to corresponding image elements of a first image of the environment, which was recorded from the first deployment and images at least one first contiguous region of the measurement environment, wherein the first and the second contiguous regions have a multiplicity of common measurement environment points, determining, in the internal reference system of the geodetic surveying device, the directions respectively from the first and second deployments to a measurement environment points which correspond to corresponding image elements on the basis of the location of the respective image element in the respective image of the environment, determining a scaling factor, precisely determining the position offset and the orientation offset on the basis of the determined directions and the scaling factor.
