Slower/older android phones will barely
handle the globe displaying anything more than just satellite dots, and Sky View frame rate will
also be slow.
Toggle Scope off to lower CPU use. Turn off ground stations and all other map
features. Android compass can be unreliable! If, in google maps, the direction the phone is facing
is moving around by itself, or if in Sky View the break in the white ring is not true North, then
position accuracy will be poor. Try moving your phone in a figure of 8 motion to help Android
re-calibrate the compass.
Please also check IOS Settings → Privacy → Location Services → (scroll down to end) System Services → Compass Calibration is set to ON.
Incremental search of currently filtered sats by

Red lines : possible home-sat link (assuming dish facing as per settings)
Click on sat: altitude history in window and sat chains.
Click on ground station : google/apple map view
: if home is set, and some time has passed viewing nearby satellites this link (in "...") will dump data to a CSV that you may be able to use for your own visibility calculations
