Dennis,
Simple Formula for bearing.. I would not think tilt is necessary but
plausible.
We used that app for a while and liked it.
I have the formula I used to help cambium automate the Azimuth for the
cbrs template spreadsheet.
if u would like to have a copy i can send it.
There are also samples on the net also..
Here is a link to a new site that explains it well.

that app go as the mobile version does 99% of it, and yes it was nice,
but our feedback was give me the bearing and tilt and we can find it.

I think Gino was developing an augmented reality phone app so you
could see where the towers were through your phones camera.

That was kind of my reaction, you may be hiring people who are
kind of clueless.
I think our schools aren’t teaching basic stuff anymore. I get
customers all the time who can’t answer questions like are you
north or south of town, or is your house on east or west side of
the street.
If they are installing an antenna, they need to have eyes on the
tower, choose a mounting location that isn’t shooting through a
tree, etc. People try to do everything with an app these days.
Make sure they don’t try to pound in nails using their phone and a
hammer app.

Towercoverage.com <http://towercoverage.com/>is very good. We
also have our KMZ's on Google Earth. But you know, there isn't
much better than your guys just knowing where the towers are and
where the customer is in relation to them.

Just checked it. Yep, you put dots on the map page and select
a dot. So you can import all the Aps into the map. You have
to actually select the dot on the map page.
Then when you go to the VR theodolite page, the heading to
that dot shows up on the compass wheel and it tells you if you
need to look left or right. It doesn’t put the dot visibly in
the field of view but it certainly helps you to put the cross
hairs right on the correct heading.

Theodolite will allow you to import markers that I believe
show up on the VR view.

We have that… looking for more of a compass time app that will
point him to a tower, based on stored LAT / LONG

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..
Thanks!
