What the app covers and who it suits

Satellite compass bundles three tools in one app: a compass, a way to point at a chosen place, and a satellite finder for aiming a dish. The listing presents it as a compact dish aligner as well as a compass.

The compass and bearing features work from your location, which comes from GPS or from coordinates or an address you type in. The listing names walkers, people looking for a parking spot or radio station, and anyone lining up a satellite dish as the kinds of use it has in mind.

Compass readings and checking your phone's compass

The compass screen shows your current location and the magnetic declination at that spot. The listing suggests checking the phone's built-in compass against a physical one, since the app reads north-south from the phone's sensors.

Declination is the gap between magnetic north and true north at a given place. Showing it alongside the heading is useful if you plan to convert a map bearing into a compass heading.

Pointing to an address, a parking spot or a saved point

Enter an address, or a set of coordinates in degrees, and the compass points you toward that place. The listing gives a parking place and a radio station as examples of targets.

You can also save your current GPS position as a point. On a walk, you can then use the bearing back to that point to find the way to where you started. The app remembers up to 25 locations.

Aligning a satellite dish

The listing describes the app as a satellite finder, pointer and dish aligner. It does not describe how the dish-pointing screen works or what inputs it takes beyond your location.

Because it uses the same location and compass features as the rest of the app, the dish pointer sits alongside the compass and bearing tools rather than as a separate product.
