Hi everyone,
I’m Simon, a telecom field technician working in Belgium. I’ve been developing an Android app called Azimark, based on tasks I regularly deal with during antenna installation and troubleshooting.
The main idea is to display antenna azimuth lines over satellite imagery, so you can identify buildings, roads and other visible landmarks along the intended direction. These give you practical reference points when positioning antennas and supporting frames on site.
For example, when installing an H-frame, I use those references to orient the frame and antennas towards the planned sector azimuth. During troubleshooting, the sector display also helps relate the site layout to the equipment in front of you.
Current features include:
- Antenna azimuth lines and sector visualization.
- Satellite, hybrid and street map views.
- Point-to-point bearings and distance information, useful for initial microwave dish alignment.
- KML/KMZ imports for site data.
- GPS position and live compass orientation.
I’m looking for beta testers, particularly people working in installation, commissioning, maintenance or RF engineering.
I’d appreciate feedback on the map controls, site imports, point-to-point workflow and anything that feels awkward during actual fieldwork. A short description of a bug or a useful suggestion is enough.

What do you currently use to translate a planned azimuth into a visible reference on site?
