Question on Dish Pointer Pro Android

[JB884]

Just downloaded the Dish Pointer Pro app on Android Samsung Charge. Seems to be pretty accurate for the most part but I do have one question.

A lot of times I will get a negative magnetic compass reading? How is this possible? The true compass reading seems to be pretty close but the magnetic is way off.

Other times it will be fine though and show the correct offset of around +11.5 degrees for my location.

Thanks,
JB

It's just a 360 degree bug which I will fix when I get around it. It doesn't affect any of the results - if you'd add 360 to the negative value you would get to the same offset which is a constant for your location anyway.
