Radar, You are absolutely correct - I run Satbeams website and we exchanged some messages quite a while ago. I have already asked our programmers to look into the issue!

We will look into the formulas and figure out why the results differ so much!

Really sad and shocking news! RIP John

Dear all, Somehow I have missed this discussion regarding Satbeams... I just wanted to state that some people may not like Satbeam's interface, but it was designed this way to ensure that any map can be reached with maximum 2-3 clicks of a mouse. That's why there is always a satellites lineup...
