If you use a surveyors GPS, they can listen to both US GPS as well as
Russian GLONAS satellites. They get pretty darn accurate.

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.

I built one of these. 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.

7000 bucks? 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.
