How to line it up
Stand where the antenna is going, hold your phone flat and open Compass. Turn until it reads 214°, then aim the front of the antenna that way. The iPhone Compass app uses true north by default, which is what these bearings use.
Bearings and signal estimates come from each transmitter's licensed power and distance. They do not account for terrain, so treat them as the starting point. The government's mySwitch tool can check an exact street address.
Aerial Pointer shows a live compass that turns you onto the transmitter, ranks every option for your exact spot and works with no signal.
