Step 2: Configuration Page - Enter Location Manually
This page shows you how to enter a location manually.

Select "edit manually" to proceed.

Location Detail entry screen. Follow the instructions explicitly using "decimal degrees." If you are in the western hemisphere, a "-" minus sign needs to go in front of the longitude
value. You can enter a personalized location name here if you wish and don't forget to change the time zone to your current
location. Press the "submit" button.

Once you've entered the data, you are returned to the home page and your location name and latitude/longitude coordinates should appear at the top. You are now setup to
begin searching for satellites to your heart's content.
(Note: If you are interested in viewing Iridium Flares, your latitude / longitude and elevation need to be as precise as possible. This is because flare visibility is
highly dependent upon location and since they only last a few seconds, correct data is critical. Please click here to see a photo I took of an Iridium Flare
on September 12, 2010.
