<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">During the last years, the European and the Nordic quasi-geoid models and existing national q-geoid models covered the territory of Latvia. There are many ways for comparison and tests of results achieved. Scientists and professionals can compare models directly at some special geodetic co-location stations or use GNSS/levelling sites. The results of this research can be used by scientists and specialists in the fundamental geodetic observations for independent monitoring of existing q-geoid models and evaluation of accuracy.The research aims at evaluating the transition to the best updated regional q-geoid model. The research objectives are the following: 1) to investigate and analyse the development of q-geoid model LV14; 2) to conduct precision research; 3) to assess the challenges of the European Vertical Reference System; 4) to draw conclusions that allow for further research in this area for development and improvement.Within the framework of the research, the authors have used a variety of research methods. Historical and logical approaches, comparative analysis and synthesis methods, as well as inductive – deductive data analysis methods have been selected for the research.A conclusion for such kind of studies is to implement the most appropriate q-geoid solution and to develop new astrogeodetic methods for unification, monitoring and for reliability of a geodetic reference network.</abstract>
