Description
From the listing uploaded by “apps”.
SatFinder detector pro (Satellite Finder) is a tool which will help you {to setup|to create|to build} satellite dish. It will {provide you with|offer you} azimuth, elevation and LNB tilt for your location (based on GPS) and chosen satellite from list. In this way shown both as number data and graphical on the search engines maps. It has also {integrated|built-in|constructed in} compass which will help you to find proper satellite azimuth. {Additionally, it|In addition, it} can use augmented reality {to exhibit|to demonstrate|showing} where is satellite on camera view.
Finding a TV satellite or an antenna, in azimuth, can be pretty difficult. {Prior to|Just before|Ahead of} you can {think it is|believe it is|still find it} with a compass you need to do some {computations|measurements|data} using GPS location, {magnet|permanent magnet|permanent magnetic} variation, compass azimuth and satellite azimuth.
Satellite Overseer replaces all that. {Observe|Discover|Find} tips to success below.
Compass works only on devices with compass {messfühler|fühler} (magnetometer).
How to use this app:
1. {Initially|First of all|Earliest} of all, you should {permit} GPS and Net on your phone. {Keep in mind|Bear in mind} - in most {instances|situations|circumstances} it is impossible to receive GPS signal inside buildings.

On the list {you can find|you will see} all satellites with elevation angle above {absolutely no|no|actually zero} degrees. Remember: satellite name doesn't affect the {computation|calculations} of angles. Important thing is satellite position.
3. The azimuth, elevation and skew angle is {determined|computed|worked out} for your location and chosen satellite. Under {determined|measured|considered} values there is a compass with graphical {portrayal|rendering|manifestation} of azimuth angle. The azimuth angle is {determined|computed|worked out} with magnetic inclination. {Keep in mind|Bear in mind} - {whenever|each and every time} you use compass - you should calibrate it. Green {collection|range|series} represents your phone azimuth. So if on compass green and red {signals are|indications are|symptoms are} on {the other person} - front of the {telephone|mobile phone|cellphone} should show you {path|way|course} to the satellite. {In the event that|In the event|If perhaps} the compass value is correct - phone azimuth value will go {renewable|inexperienced|oriental}.
3 tips to success:
1- do NOT go to {near} the {flat iron|straightener} dish, iron lnb {supply|left arm|hand} or iron pole (keep at least 30 centimeter distance)
2- calibrate the compass of the {telephone|mobile phone|cellphone} by waving it in a figure 8 before you start
3- {optionally available|recommended}: calibrate the compass of {the telephone|the device|the product} by rolling your phone along its {size|duration|span} axis about 2-3 {becomes|transforms|converts} (works on some phones)
