Bob,
Yes, having the correct location is vital to having accurate results from the program.
When you say, "I updated 'Observer' for the main map," exactly what did you do? Did you pull down from the Setup tab, or from the Accy tab? Did you enter latitude and longitude, or did you enter a six-character grid? And did you click on "Store" after you updated the information? -- Mark D.

I'm trying to get the crosshair of my present location shown properly on the SATPC32 Map. When I was in EM54, I moved it successfully from my home QTH EN91. Now that I'm in EM32 again, it doesn't want to move there. I updated "Observer" for the main map and also for WinAOS. I closed SATPC numerous times, but it still stays in EM54. Perhaps, it's an OCD thing. The calculation work out OK for the passes when compared to AMSATDroid-Free, so it's completely usable. Having the crosshair correct is helpful when watching when the footprint begins/ends (AOS/LOS).
