ANTENNA ALIGNMENT SYSTEM INCLUDING EARTH BROWSER OBTAINED ACTUAL POSITION DATA AND RELATED METHODS
An antenna alignment system for point-to-point alignment of first and second spaced apart antennas may include an antenna alignment tool configured to be temporarily mounted adjacent the first antenna and determine actual alignment data for the first antenna. The antenna alignment system may also include a technician tool configured to display a geographical earth representation within an earth browser, permit user selection of the second antenna within the earth browser, and obtain actual position data for the second antenna as selected within the earth browser. The technician tool may also be configured to determine target alignment data for aligning the first antenna toward the second antenna based upon the actual position data for the second antenna.
