Sky View inconsistency #161

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The sky view displays the satellites according to their azimuth and
elevation, using the conventional interpretation of azimuth where 90degrees
corresponds to East.

However the E/W markers are incorrectly placed relative to the satellites.
 A Satellite with an azimuth of ~90 degrees appears on the right hand side
of the screen, yet the direction mark there is 'W'.

Either the 'E' and 'W' symbols are incorrectly placed, or all the
satellites need to be drawn the other way around i.e reflected along the
North axis. As the satellite display currently matches that displayed by
other applications (SirfDemo) I think the E/W markers need to be changed. 

I did implement this change before (r266)but it got reverted(r293). so I am
seeking some consensus that a change is actually necessary.
