Location Accuracy And Observer Settings
Improve sky map and pass timing accuracy by configuring observer location and elevation correctly in MySatVis.
Use Precise Coordinates
Latitude and longitude precision affects azimuth and elevation outputs, especially for low-angle passes.
Include Elevation
Observer altitude can influence horizon geometry and pass timing near threshold conditions.
Verify Before Session
Confirm location values before planning a pass window to avoid missing a narrow visibility opportunity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate should my coordinates be?
For most use cases, decimal precision to four or five places is a good baseline for stable planning.
Can I use device geolocation only?
Yes, but verify and adjust manually if GPS uncertainty or indoor signal quality produces inaccurate results.
