Abstract:
An antenna alignment device includes a handheld enclosure comprising a high-precision GPS receiver, high-precision GPS antennas spaced apart along an enclosure heading, a display, a camera having a central axis aligned with the heading, and a user interface. A circuit board connects these components and has a processor programmed to determine an azimuth of the heading with the receiver and antennas based upon received GPS signals, to show a view of the camera on the display, to depict crosshairs at a display centerpoint superimposed on the view, to receive a target coordinate from a user through the user interface, to calculate a distance between the target coordinate and the heading and, if the distance is short enough to be contained within the view, to superimpose a bullseye upon the display at the target coordinate, and to dynamically move the bullseye on the display as the user moves the enclosure.
