Airport Parking headings

Postby jtprophet » Mon Sep 19, 2016 5:20 pm

Good morning guys,

I'm trying to determine the heading of the parking space within Google Maps and I dont see a tool to do this within, how may I ask are you supposed to determine the heading; already tried putting my Boy Scout Silva compass on the screen and that didnt work...lol

An alternative is to use Google Earth; same maps as Google Maps, but gives you instant lat/lon in whatever format you want, plus length and heading measurement tools. Only downside is you need to install the application.

You could use the UFO.Just put it on the bay facing in the right direction then read its orientation.
