1. A mobile field controller for measurement and remote control, configured in such a way that it forms a system for coordinative geodetic determination of the position of target points together with a remote controllable geodetic surveying device having distance and direction measurement functionality, the field controller comprising: a control and evaluation unit with an electronic display for controlling the surveying device remotely and for evaluating and/or transmitting measurement data; a housing that can be hand-held coupled with the control and evaluation unit; a geodetic target object supported by the housing, an absolute target position of which can be determined by the surveying device by means of a direction-based and laser beam-based distance measurement; and a distance-measuring unit for determining the distance between the field controller and at least one target point without contacting the ground, wherein the at least one target point is optically marked by means of the field controller, wherein: a spatial orientation of the field controller can be determined; the geodetic target object and the distance-measuring unit are in a defined spatial reference relationship to an internal reference system of the field controller, and an absolute position of the target point is calculated from the absolute position of the geodetic target object by means of the determined spatial orientation of the field controller and the determined distance between the field controller and the target point.
