1. A method for displaying desired positions in a live image of a construction site, comprising:
recording at least one position-referenced image of the construction site,
linking at least one desired position to the position-referenced image, storing the position-referenced image together with desired position linkage in an electronic memory,
recording a live image of the construction site, wherein the live image and the position-referenced image at least partially represent an identical detail of the construction site,
retrieving the stored position-referenced image from the memory,
fitting the position-referenced image with the live image, so that the desired position linked to the position-referenced image can be overlaid in a position-faithful manner on the live image,
position-faithful display of the desired position as a graphic marking in the live image.
