Best software to find bearing
|
I'm setting up a small 440mhz 7 element yagi and would like to find the compass bearings to several "targets". I don't see a bearing on google maps. What do folks recommend?
Thanks and have a happy safe 4th! 73, Howard -- ************************* Howard E. Mahran WA1HEM (425) 864 - 5104 *************************

The web version doesn’t have it but if you download the Google earth app it includes a ruler tool that will give you a bearing. I thought I once did this with Gaia GPS but I couldn’t find it there last time I looked.

I grit my teeth and use Google Earth Pro.

I make it a bearing of 204 degrees and a distance of about 14.8 miles. That’s to a point just a bit east of Duvall, I’m not real clear on exactly where Howard’s house is. But that bearing ought to be plenty good enough for aiming a Yagi.

What Are the coordinates of the cougar mountain repeater? I was thinking it was nearly due south of Duvall but I’m not sure Excuse my typos - sent via my thumbs or by voice from a mobile device
