Two projects are discussed in which a phase referencing technique is used to determine stellar parallaxes and/or proper motions by means of the circumstellar masers. The observations are special in the sense that both continuum and line sources need to be detected. To obtain stellar motions assumptions on the location of the maser with respect to the star need to be made.
