  A cubic kilometer scale neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD is currently under
construction in Lake Baikal. Baikal-GVD is designed to detect Cerenkov
radiation from products of astrophysical neutrino interactions with Baikal
water by a lattice of photodetectors submerged between the depths of 1275 and
730 m. The detector components are mounted on flexible strings and can drift
from their initial positions upwards to tens of meters. This introduces
positioning uncertainty which translates into a timing error for Cerenkov
signal registration. A spatial positioning system has been developed to resolve
this issue. In this contribution, we present the status of this system, results
of acoustic measurements and an estimate of positioning error for an individual
component.
