Goto Sat function

Hi all,

I am new to this hobby and perhaps I am making a mistake or making an assumption that is not true. I have the VisionDTV 120A card and the SM3D12 motor drive and want to use it in USALS mode. I have entered my current Lat and Long and am expecting the program to do the math necessary for the correct azimuth. This does not seem to be the case as if I click on any bird on the list, the Degree seems to be for somewhere that is not here! Are the azimuth headings for the satellites on the dish set-up screen canned and if so can they be changed for your local area?

If you are in North America, VisionDTV is expecting negative value for your Longitude (i.e -88.2)

That tricked me first time I tried to use it.
