What Direction is Dishy Pointing

Yesterday I got an update to my my iPhone Starlink App and change the menu and new Icon and my Starlink rebooted at 3:00AM. My Dishy was pointing close to "NORTH" now today it shifted 64 degrees and now points more east than north. There is a palm tree due east and just barely out of the view of the Dishy. Seems that my prime time performance has increased but watch it over the next few days. We are currently in Orlando Fla and RV version of Starlink.

I read on Facebook Starlink group that Dishy on the west coast are pointing more west than north and even some of the midwest have shifted directions from north.

Mine will point in a direction other dishy I can see aren't. I have also seen reports that some users are fixed position mounting them straight up due to the number of satellites that are now in orbit. Basically proving that aim really isn't as necessary any longer. I haven't personally tested that theory but it's being widely reported. Check out the Starlink Discord channel. Lots of people chat there.

I have Gen 2 Residential with Portability activated. A few weeks ago the DISHY reoriented itself generally towards the east as opposed towards the north west when initially set up.
I'm located on the east coast just across the ICW from Holden Beach, NC.

Mine changes every 24 hours or so, plus they keep pushing updates to almost daily at this point.
