I installed an app on my DW's smartphone (Dishpointerpro IIRC) so that we can easily see where in the sky the birds are and adjust our campsite choice accordingly. It makes the job of aiming the dish MUCH easier.

I checked it out on the playstore and it's $19.99 and seems to have overall very good reviews with a few exceptions. I'm gonna think about it some more before purchasing. I know, if I was a full timer then I wouldn't hesitate, but I only camp a few times a year.

It's quite a luxury, when the Park tells you what site they're putting you in, to step into it to see if you'll have satellite and define how you want to park to set it up. Twenty bucks doesn't sound like much when compared to pulling in, beginning to set up... and learning you need a different spot to have satellite. If you're boondocking... the same holds true. It's much easier to do it once when you have good info first.
