As European Union member states – Latvia and Lithuania have changed their national height systems from Baltic Normal Height System 1977 to European Vertical Reference System realizations. Performing practical Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements and obtained data mathematical processing, there is a possibility to calculate point height difference between GNSS data and data of 1st order levelling networks. The aim of the research is to gain insight for methodology development of geodetic point height testing using GNSS measurements. To achieve the goal following tasks are set: 1) perform GNSS measurements of first order levelling network in Latvia and Lithuania; 2) do data processing to get point ellipsoidal height and compare with the point normal height; 3) detect technically feasible accuracy of geoid model for precise height measurements with GNSS method within research area. Performing GNSS measurements at the same time in the territory of Latvia and Lithuania, the experience of mutual cross-border cooperation was accumulated. The results were adjusted with academic software package Bernese and were obtained point ellipsoidal and normal heights. The height measurement accuracy using GNSS method depends on geoid model accuracy and more precise results can be obtained increasing used geoid model accuracy to 1.5 to 2 cm.
