An augmented reality system includes a global navigation satellite system module adapted to output position data, an orientation measurement module adapted to output orientation data, an augmented reality module, at least one AR-client having a camera and a display. The augmented reality module is adapted to determine a position and orientation of the camera of the at least one AR-client based on the position data and orientation data, calculating screen positions of at least one AR object based on the position and orientation of the camera of the at least one AR-client to create at least one AR-overlay, transmitting the at least one AR overlay to at least one AR-client, and the AR-client is adapted to merging the at least one AR-overlay with a picture received from the camera of the at least one AR-client to provide an AR-image, and displaying the AR-image on the display.
