How to Get Location Coordinates for Your Starlink Kit Setup
When setting up your Starlink kit for the first time, you may need to provide your exact location coordinates (latitude and longitude) to ensure proper alignment and optimal network performance. If internet access is unavailable, use the following methods to retrieve your coordinates before setup.
1. Using Google Maps (Offline Method Available)
Open the Google Maps app on your phone.
If you have access to mobile data or an offline map, tap and hold on your location.
Your latitude and longitude will appear at the bottom of the screen.
If completely offline, download your area’s map in advance under “Offline Maps” in Google Maps settings.
2. Using a GPS Device or Mobile GPS App
Stand at your intended Starlink dish location.
Use a GPS device or a GPS app (e.g., GPS Status & Toolbox for Android or Compass for iOS).
The app will display your latitude and longitude, even without an internet connection.
Why Are Location Coordinates Important?
Providing accurate coordinates ensures:
Correct dish alignment for the best satellite connection.
Faster troubleshooting and setup verification.
Service coverage accuracy and proper activation.
