I am trying to find out what my correct true south is. I was told 16 E but on another calc it says West

Nampa, ID 83687
Latitude 43° 35.622'N Longitude 116° 32.160'W

thanks
 
Too early for me : )

I get....
Elevation= 40.38
Distance to satellite=37790km
True south satellite= Satmex 5 at 116.8W

you didnt subratct 14-16 from the azimuth. Thats where I got G13
Satmex is at 180.4 before the subraction
G13 is at 129 and is at 197.8..it could be that or the satellite at 127
 
Subtracting the magnetic deviation from the Azimuth does not change his true south satellite, just where he points to find it?
 
Your true south satellite would be IA5 (T5) at 97 deg. W.
Elevation = 56.17 deg.
Distance to satellite= 36730km (not needed)

29.4 Lat/N 98.5 Long/W (guess)
(
G4R is closer to south for you but there is nothing much there to point at right now)
 
Thanks for the good info
