In [dsat_difference_vector.ps](/img/dsat_difference_vector.ps) I have
drawn the difference vectors to the real locations (screen_E-GKK_E and
screen_N-GKK_N). Note: the signs are drawn wrong (always positive). To
me that looks good, i.e. there seems to be a systematic error to the
real locations.\ generation of file (plus header/footer):

### it gets worse

In D-Sat you can put markers on the map to remember locations. The
location of the markers is saved in dsat.ini. Very simple format:
location of the markers is saved in `dsat.ini` in a very simple

Key1 selects the symbol which is shown on the screen, so the other two
values should be the coordinates of the marker. The problem is very

### Help!

If you have ideas that could help to decode any of that coordinates,
[I](https://amor.cms.hu-berlin.de/~jaeschkr/) would be glad to hear
from you. I\'m also interested in information regarding the rumour,
that the pictures in D-Sat1 are very badly geo-referenced and so it is
impossible to get correct coordinates.

Thanks to Mikael Rekola, because he pointed out that the coordinates
in the city database could also be stored as (long) floating
