SatFinder

SatFinder (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.

Compass works only on devices with compass sensor (magnetometer).

How to use this app:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

SatFinder（寻星仪）是一个工具，它可以帮助您设置卫星天线。它会给你的方位，从列表中您所在位置海拔LNB倾斜（基于GPS）和卫星选择。结果显示两者作为谷歌地图的数字数据和图形。这还内置指南针，这将帮助你找到正确的方位卫星。它也可以使用增强现实表明哪里是在摄影机视图卫星。

指南针仅适用于带指南针传感器（磁）设备。

如何使用这个应用程序：

1.首先，你应该让您的手机上的GPS和互联网。记住 - 在大多数情况下是不可能的接收建筑物内的GPS信号。所以，如果你想获得非常精确的位置 - 请去靠近窗户或去外连。

在当前的应用程序版本的位置应该是相当立刻发现。所以，如果你坚持“没有位置”的消息请确保您得到启用的所有必需的功能/权限。

2.如果应用程序找到您的位置，您必须选择所需的卫星。要做到这一点，你必须找到与放大玻璃图标，点击它。在名单上，你会发现上面零度仰角的所有卫星。请记住：卫星名称不会影响角度的计算。重要的是卫星位置。

3.方位角，仰角和倾斜角计算您的位置和所选择的卫星。在计算值有一个与方位角的图形表示指南针。方位角计算与磁倾角。记住 - 每次使用指南针的时间 - 你应该校准。绿线代表你的手机的方位。所以，如果指南针绿色和红色指标是相互 - 手机正面应该表现出你的方向到卫星。如果指南针值是正确的 - 手机方位角值将走向绿色。
