Same here. I can do 99% of the site survey in the office using Google Earth and drawing paths around trees to the site. We can tell pretty much spot on where we need to locate the RX and if it will be a go before we even go out.

If they show they are covered on our Radio Mobile Google Earth overlays, we schedule an install. If they don't get a good signal then we don't charge them anything. We had too many great signals with "ok I'll talk to my wife and get back with you".

Oh yeah and it needs to be cheap too. I want to start using something like this for our site surveys because it would be much easier than getting out the telescoping pole we use and having someone hold it steady with a radio on it. I was thinking of just making one myself but even the telescoping pole itself is hard to find. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
