Dish pointing through google maps

[hedi0058]

Hi all,
I just wanted to know if one of you have tried this website : "Satellite direction finder" to point the dish and if this kind of website is accurate.
It looks like it couldn't be as accurate as a compass?

Thanks.

Looks kinda like Dishpointer.com

I occasionally use Dishpointer.com and it seems accurate

I just briefly tried it. Dishpointer.com seems more user friendly. On dishpointer I can enter my address then move the location "teardrop" to exactly where my dish is on my property. You can do something similar by scrolling the map on your site but it doesn't seem to stick as well. Give both a try and you'll see what I mean.
