We already have it in TowerCoverage. It’s a function of the EUS. It tells you exactly what bearing to aim and tlit.
Example: Alignment from Client: Align via 14.00° with 3.00° tilt assuming 6m client antenna height [LTI-Full_175px] Dennis Burgess Mikrotik : Trainer, Network Associate, Routing Engineer, Wireless Engineer, Traffic Control Engineer, Inter-Networking Engineer, Security Engineer, Enterprise Wireless Engineer Hurricane Electric: IPv6 Sage Level Cambium: ePMP Author of "Learn RouterOS- Second Edition” Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net<http://www.linktechs.net/> Create Wireless Coverage’s with www.towercoverage.com From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of dave Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2020 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Favorite AP for tower locating for techs 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. https://www.igismap.com/formula-to-find-bearing-or-heading-angle-between-two-points-latitude-longitude/ [cid:[email protected]] On 12/3/20 8:56 AM, Dennis Burgess wrote: We had that in our towercoverage.com android app, however we have let 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 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. From: AF <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On Behalf Of David Hannum Sent: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 12:34 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Favorite AP for tower locating for techs 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.

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.
