1. A method for assisting with orienting a medical device at a desired location, the method comprising:
displaying, on an electronic device, by one or more processors, an image of a representation of a location at or adjacent the desired location;
simulating, by one or more processors, a position of the medical device relative to the image to determine a first desired orientation of the medical device relative to a plane of the image;
positioning the medical device at or adjacent the desired location;
positioning the electronic device at a reference position relative to the medical device;
determining, by one or more processors, an orientation of the electronic device using an orientation sensor; and
determining, by one or more processors, when the orientation of the electronic device is positioned at or about the first desired orientation of the medical device relative to the plane of the image.
