Dish pointing through google maps

[fathiz0058]

Hi all,
I just wanted to know if one of you have tried this website : http://www.sat-direction.com/ to point the dish and if this kind of website is accurate.
It looks like it couldn't be as accurate as a compass?

Thanks.

Personaly I'd recomend this Site:
http://www.dishpointer.com/

...And as for "accuracy" I find ~that~ to be relatively objective.
I would think of this as a simple tool to see which Satellites are with in your "Window".
Hint. the distance between 28.2/5°e to say 30.0°w is smaller then most would think would otherwise be.
Till I came 'cross this "Tool" I thought 30.0°w was actually behind my residence.

So yes this "Tool" is ~usefull!!!~
