Appendix A:
Dish Pointing Smartphone
Applications
Satellite finder/dish pointing applications that run on a smartphone allow interposition
of the projection of satellite positions on the sky on the actual view via the viewfinder
of the built-in camera, based on Augmented Reality.
To determine a suitable location using a smartphone:
1.
Download a
satellite pointer
application of your choice.
We recommend Satellite AR by Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) - you can download
it from
http://spacedata.agi.com/MobileApps/about.htm
2.
Install the application.
3.
Run the application.
4.
Visit the desired location where you would like to install the satellite dish.
5.
Point the smartphone in the desired direction.
6.
Locate the satellite listed in the invoice.
7.
Determine whether the location you have selected provides a clear line of sight
from the satellite dish to this satellite. If you see any tall objects (trees, buildings
etc.) overlapping the satellite projection, the location is not suitable.
