Use Multimap.com
Put in your post code and it'll give you the exact coordinates.

Hi paddyboy.

Just laod (55n) (4w).
No need to change 55n as long as your motor is
set to (55n) It will be.
To tweek you Signal Quality to gain the highest Signal.
Right down your Sig Quality, then change you Longitude
from (4w) to say 3.8w note if you have uped your
Sig Quality after you have clicked on (Move to Satellite) When in (USALS).
Then save your settings when you gained the highest Signal on that Sat.
