Re: GPS Orbital Path

Yup. One of those "impressive" things that doesn't have a whole ton
of use, but does have use for some. If it wasn't going to be too
tricky I was thinking of implementing it.

Roger that :-)

but then, GPS delivers azimuth and elevation (current position) of the
satellites in sight
to know the trajectory (for planing) you will have to do additional research
on trajectory parametters
on each of the GPS satellites which is bothering all by itself but then if
you already have these

-then it's just a matter of graphical representation

if i had all that i would figure out a function of my own to aproximate
azimuth and elevation in polar system (132x80) of course i would use built
in ploter to plot
trajectory without axes of course GOR a satellite number/symbol to current
position

(could look pretty "impressive" :-)
