Satellite Finder

Satellite Finder - Satellite Director

SatFinder detector pro (Satellite Finder) is a tool which will help you to set up satellite dish. It will give you azimuth, elevation and LNB tilt for your location (based on GPS) and chosen satellite from list. The result is shown both as numeric data and graphical on google maps. It has also built in compass which will help you to find proper satellite azimuth. It also can use augmented reality to show where is satellite on camera view.

Finding a TV satellite or an antenna, in azimuth, can be pretty difficult. Before you can find it with a compass you have to do some calculations using GPS location, magnetic variation, compass azimuth and azimuth Satellite Director replaces all of that. See tips to success below. dishpointer satellite finder an Android app. / dishpointer sat finder azimuth

The Lite version is slimmed down version of the full SatFinder, which has additional functionality such as Target Satellite view dish network azimuth .

SatFinder dishpointer satellite finder is a tool for finding TV satellites and aligning signal dishes. Use your Augmented Reality Camera view to see and target satellites in the sky. It can be used anywhere in the world since all major TV satellites are in the database compass New feature: Ability to manually enter Location latitude and longitude details in case Location cannot be automatically determined in case of "no connectivity" dishpointer satellite finder azimuth

First of all, you should enable GPS and Internet on your phone. Remember – in most cases it is impossible to receive GPS signal inside buildings. So if you want to get very accurate location please go near windows or go even outside In current app version location should be found quite immediately. So if you stuck with ‘no location’ message please make ensure that you got enabled all required features/permissions.

If app found your location, you must select desired satellite. To do this you must find icon with magnification glass and tap it. On the list you will find all satellites with elevation angle above zero degrees. Remember: satellite name doesn’t affect the calculation of angles. Important thing is satellite position The azimuth, elevation and skew angle is calculated for your location and chosen satellite.

Under calculated values there is a compass with graphical representation of azimuth angle. The azimuth angle is calculated with magnetic inclination. Remember – every time you use compass you should calibrate it Green line represents your phone azimuth. So if on compass green and red indicators are on each other front of the phone should show you direction to the satellite. If the compass value is correct – phone azimuth value will go green.

Thank you for using the app satellite finder - dish installation
