Satellite aiming

 

I was just reading an article about using a Garmin to aim a TV satellite dish. Has anyone done this and did it work?

You use the Garmin to get the lat/lon coordinates for the dish, and use that in the set-up procedure to set the proper azimuth & elevation for the dish for the particular service. Last time I pointed a dish, I used the map in the instructions in the manual... would have been a little faster with a Garmin... smile
