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 uncoverJ))
