Re: [guide-user] 2005YU55 path error

Yes I have the same problem. I changed the Epoch date in "Settings" Format to the
Epoch date of the elements it helps somewhat but still out be 14 minutes.

But with it being out about 15 minute should not be too much of a problem just
hunt the area with a 15 minute advance in time. The track is the same.
