Satellite Finder


I had an App on my phone where I could actually see the vast satellite superimposed on my phone screen relative to any trees or buildings that may be around.
We haven't traveled for the last couple of years due to Covid and now that I want to use it again I cant find the feature on Wiki camps or Skyveiw,
So does any body know if it is something that has been discontinued or am I just looking in the wrong place.

G'day Landy

I use one called "SatellitePointer" and find it to be very good. Free or paid versions available

Cheers
Frank

The satellite finder function, on the main menu in WikiCamps, still gives you the camera option to superimpose the position of the satellite on the live camera of your surroundings.

You need to put in your coordinates, either manually, or using the position pin on the map, and once you have done that the camera will do the rest, as you are given the position relative to yourself.
