Antenna Azimuth Checker
Born from a simple need on site: check, right away, that an antenna actually points where it's supposed to. The phone compares its measured azimuth against the one planned in the site design.

What the app checks
Azimuth measured live
The phone's magnetometer, with compensation, shows the real heading the antenna is pointed at.
Compared to the planned value
Just enter the azimuth from the design file to instantly see the gap with the real orientation.
Site position confirmed
Built-in geolocation confirms the reading is taken at the right spot.
A clear check sheet
Planned azimuth, measured azimuth, the gap between the two: a simple record to use for site acceptance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any external hardware to use Antenna Azimuth Checker?
No, the app uses only your phone's internal sensors (compass and GPS) and does not require any external dongles or devices.
How accurate is the azimuth measurement?
The accuracy depends on your device's sensor quality and calibration. For best results, calibrate your compass in the app and avoid magnetic interference from metal objects or electronics.
