Is there a tool that satellite installers use to pinpoint the location
of a satellite - mainly to see if a clear "shot" exists from a given

Yes. But a compass and a "angle finder" at Home depot in the tools
dept. works too.

If you have a iPhone iPad or Android device, there is an awesome app
that you just point the screen in the sky and it tells you what is
there!
