Detail measurement is one of the most important studies of the survey engineering. It can be defined as the measurement of detail points with sufficient accuracy in order to draw all the natural and artificial objects on the land. About a 20 ha test area were established in Selcuk University Campus to compare RTK-GPS and classic methods. Detail points in the test area were measured according to polar coordinate method by using electronic tacheometry. Spatial data concerning the same area were obtained with Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK GPS). Polar coordinate method (classical method) was accepted as a basis and compared with the spatial data obtained from RTK-GPS method in terms of accuracy and cost.
