    I have bought a plugin from asset store.From beacons I am getting the RSSI(strength).I am using only a single beacon.I could pop up a message or model when inside the range.

    1)How to show the direction from device to where the beacon is situated?Should I use triangulation method(Deep knowledge in maths required?)?How to achieve it?

    2)Is there any alternate method other than using beacons.
