When using this application it is also important to note that the iPhones internal compass is used to help locate satellites in the Sky. It is extremely important that this software is used outdoors away from objects that can cause interference to the compass. Any compass interference will cause the satellites to move sporadically. Please avoid using this software indoors, in motor vehicles or by any object that can cause magnetic interference.
