Gpredict - Click for more screenshots Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application. It can track an unlimited number of satellites and display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also predict the time of future passes for a satellite, and provide you with detailed information about each pass. Gpredict will also allow you to track satellites relatively to different observer locations - at the same time. Gpredict is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.

Satllite tooltip in GpredictYou may have already seen tooltips in the Gpredict user interface. I have made extensive use of them for providing short description of the functionality of the GUI controls all over the application. Lately, I have felt a desire to extend the usage of tooltips to also include graphical objects like satellites shown on the map or the passes shown in the "Sky at a glance" module.

Gpredict uses GooCanvas for graphics, which adds a the "missing" 2D canvas library to Gtk+. Since version 0.15 GooCanvas includes support for Gtk+-like tooltips for any objects on the canvas. This is really great since it simplifies the effort from messing with own popup windows to using single line API calls.

Gpredict in the Linux Journal

.

I noticed today January 2010 issue of Linux Journal has amateur radio as it's main topic. In fact, the whole front page is a big Amateur Radio and Linux headline.

There are three articles about amateur and several great ham radio apps for Linux are described in these articles: Fldigi, Xlog, Xastir, Gpredict and GNU Radio. Needless to say, I was very happy to see Gpredict listed there. I have attached an incomplete cut from the magazine, but you will have to get your own copy to read the whole article.

You can get a PDF copy for $5.99 at http://www.linuxjournal.com/ham. Enjoy!
