Satellite Locater – a device to set up satellite dish and find television stations
SatFinder (Satellite Locater) is a device which will assist you with setting up satellite dish. Based on your location and the satellite you selected from the list, it will provide you with azimuth, elevation, and LNB tilt. On Google Maps, the outcome is displayed in both graphical and numerical form. Additionally, the built-in compass will assist you in determining the correct satellite azimuth. It can also use augmented reality to show where the satellite is from the camera’s perspective.
Only devices with a compass sensor (magnetometer) can use compass.
What to do with this app:
1. First and foremost, you should enable Internet and GPS on your phone. Keep in mind that GPS signals cannot typically be received inside buildings. So if you have any desire to get exceptionally precise area – kindly go close to windows or go even outside.
The location should be found immediately in the current app version. Therefore, if you continue to receive the “no location” message, please verify that you have enabled all necessary features and permissions.
2. If the app knows where you are, you have to choose the satellite you want. To accomplish this, locate the icon with the magnifying glass and tap it. All satellites with an elevation angle greater than zero degrees are included on the list. Remember: The angle calculation is unaffected by the satellite’s name. The position of the satellite is crucial.
3. For your location and the satellite you selected, the azimuth, elevation, and skew angle are calculated. There is a compass with a graphical representation of the azimuth angle under the calculated values. Magnetic inclination is used to calculate the azimuth angle. Keep in mind that you should calibrate your compass each time you use it. The green line indicates the azimuth of your phone. Therefore, the front of the phone ought to direct you toward the satellite if the green and red indicators on the compass are adjacent to one another. The phone azimuth value will turn green if the compass value is accurate.
