Looking at the website, it shows two GPS antennas. If you could get accurate enough location, you could use two locations to calculate the aim of the tool. I am guessing that is how they did it. Are GPS modules accurate enough to get sub centimeter locations now-a-days? I may have to resurrect the project if they don’t have a patent on the idea.

GPS, inclinometers, mag compass etc. But the flux gate magnetic compass gets thrown off by towers. So it was not worth even trying in my opinion. Now, if they have discovered a way to get heading info that can be relied upon, good for them. I couldn’t solve the problem.

I mean, seriously, if you want to teach new guys to align a PTP link, have them do a 3.5km path with 80 GHz and 2' antennas. Nothing has a smaller center beam size. If they can do that effectively, they can do anything.
