Periscope View helps you make sure you're headed down the right path, or that your Tv-radio antenna is aimed properly. With the help of satellites, it allows you to view your surroundings up to a hundred miles or so with either a map or satellite image view. Provision is made for placing three colored pins at desired locations using either textual geosearch or via latitude and longitude coordinates or just tapping on a zoomed map. You can easily also save your current location.
