I have created some software to create a radial map to help you know
where to point your antenna. A sample of the map can be seen here...

Pretty much any part of this map can be customized from the start and
end point of the radials how many degrees apart each one is, having
multiple sets of radials, such as a set every 1 degree from 97 to 100
miles out with an other set from 5 to 200 miles every 15 degrees. Any
number of sets of any length can be done. As well as circles of any
size. All very easy, just supply the center lat long. I can also print
the map any size up to 42" wide/high. I've never printed had any paper
that big on this printer but I do know it will take paper that big. I
would have got a 36" wide printer but it was too slow, and this one is
faster. With the software I am developing creating the map is very
easy but obviously printing it isn't cheap.

There's a free utillity called Pizza that does something like this.
What I like about it is , you can import your antenna polar diagram from
NEC etc and overlay that as well as the compass bearing. OK it's just a
line drawing map , but good enough for most purposes.
