Oh duh, yes, reading the wrong bit. It definitely has GPS, but beyond that,
not sure.

Actually, the app is reporting the sensors that your phone has, not what the
dish has.

The dish has GPS and accelerometer at least. Perhaps a magnetometer as well,
but it can find north just using GPS.

[RR] I'd be interested in knowing how the dishy gets orientation from GPS.
Does it have three spatially diverse GPS antennas and receivers so it can
determine its orientation?  I suspect not. Also, a single accelerometer and
magnetometer are generally insufficient to uniquely determine orientation in
3-D space.  There's clearly a bit more to this to uncover:-)))
