Looking at all the options related to Theodolite style apps.

We have it on an ipad for the guys. They can open a handhole, snap a photo and it will email the photo with the position printed (screenshot) as well as the orientation of the photo so you can tell which direction is which.

Like if you are directional drilling up or down a hill, you can quickly get the slope of the hill so know what angle the bit should be while drilling at a constant depth below surface.

On the one hand, it’s magic not science. On the other hand, Elon Musk and T-Mobile are wanting to eat your lunch, not to mention government funded fiber. I think it’s like getting people to pay to see you juggle running chainsaws, while they could instead watch Netflix or play Call Of Duty. Very difficult, yet customers would rather be doing something else.

We use tower coverage as well, but it doesn’t show the angle (degrees) to the tower.

That ticket could always be pulled up. As far as alignment, I would think you're in LOS territory with 5 GHz so once you know where the tower is, you can aim for it by eyeball instead of app. Josh Luthman 24/7 Help Desk: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Wed, Dec 2, 2020 at 12:44 PM Paul McCall <pa...@pdmnet.net<mailto:pa...@pdmnet.net>> wrote: We have that… looking for more of a compass time app that will point him to a tower, based on stored LAT / LONG From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com>> On Behalf Of Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 12:15 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' <af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com>> Cc: Chuck McCown <ch...@go-mtc.com<mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Favorite AP for tower locating for techs Google Earth From: AF [mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com] On Behalf Of Paul McCall Sent: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 10:07 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com>> Subject: [AFMUG] Favorite AP for tower locating for techs Anyone have a favorite app?? (android or iPhone) for putting in the LAT/LONG of all the towers, so that the newbies have a general direction to a tower from their location. Looking to import (or type them) in all the towers..
