Hi

Is there a utility that gives the azimuth and elevation for all satellites relative to your location.

i want to work out whether large trees might affect line of sight to any sats before deciding the location of my dish

thanks

Si

Hi,
I use this one:-

Just select the sat, and then zoom into your location.

The azimuth given is based on magnetic north, so you can check it with a compass.

Here's my favorite one. It's downloadable, and it's simple to use.
