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.

I use it for all kinds of things.  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.

You are a brave man trying to make a business out of NLOS fixed wireless.  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.

LOL, definitely not in LOS territory.  90% of our rural stuff won’t see the 
towers.

 

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

When an account (in Powercode) is made through Towercoverage API, it'll add the 
estimated signals to the tower starting with the closest ones.  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.

  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!
