This is the next generation satellite finder. You can see all the satellites lined up, on the live video screen by pointing your iPhone anywhere towards the sky. At a glance, you’ll see the satellite’s location and if any trees or buildings are blocking the line of sight. In this way, you will know where to place your dish best. Doing a site survey and setting up a dish is going to be a snap with this app. This is a truly applicable augmented reality app for the professional.
The app uses the GPS, accelerometer, and the compass of the new iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. By moving the phone left and right and up and down, the satellite arc will follow the live video on the display. But, the compass has a bit of a lag, so when doing quick sideways movements the satellite arc is trying to catch up and then settles to the correct position.
