    Help, please? What am I supposed to be doing?

    " Point phone up "? Which bit of the phone?

    " Point it round at the sky ' Bloody Tesco driver came down the track, as I was wandering in circles, phone in the air!

    Can't make out a Thing on the screen, due to daylight. Dash indoors and it's saying, 'Some Hope!'

    What's wrong with my bit of sky, Elon?! How do we Do this, please? 😐

    Thanks.

    With the Starlink app opened and standing at the location you will be mounting the Starlink dish, point your camera at the sky and move it around. Once complete the app will return the result.

    All the Starlink dishes around my area point in a S to SW direction.

    So it says, @The_Cush.

    I've just gone to the middle of a meadow. Nothing about or above me but clear, blue skies.

    Reported I'd be hopeless. Something is not right, here.

    Mate from UK gave me his Garmin whatever they are. Find places with it?

    I ran through a few sets of batteries, trying to get it to find a satellite. Been in the drawer for years.

    I'm an old man. Officially. Pensioner. My camera lives in its drawer. I shout to call centre bots, on this. I Need my computer back.

    See? Is it me? Or, could the skies, over my spot of Leitrim teach Israel a thing or two?

    Seriously ..…

    " Local Bermuda Triangle "

    Damn! 😬 I wouldn't be so straight faced, if it wasn't for that Garmin 😕

    Yeah. A youngster. Ye know, I honestly don't know if there's any round here!

    I'll try to rope in my neighbor. I'll also try the Selfie looking routine, in town, tomorrow.

    If I don't get knocked down, or arrested, I'll report back.
