Abstract
A system and method of for underground line location includes an underground line locator. The underground line locator includes an antenna system configured to generate signal information based on a proximity and an orientation of an underground line relative to the antenna system, a positioning system configured to generate position information based on the location of the underground line locator, and a controller coupled to the antenna system and the positioning system. The controller is configured to receive the signal information from the antenna system and the positioning information from the positioning system.
