Google Maps tool to align your Satellite Dish - The creator of this maps tool explains: "..Basically, anyone who ever installed a satellite dish knows how frustrating it is to point the dish at the satellite somewhere in the sky. I've created a unique tool which calculates the dish angle based on user location and then draws a line on the Google Maps satellite image. You can actually see your house, mark the dish position and then see where to aim the satellite dish." (This tool works for anyone worldwide)Diana, Princess of Wales - Mapped Timeline + Videos
