A Look Angle Calculator with GPS support

plus a Data Rate/Symbol Rate calculator for the PalmOS.

Features:

• Look Angle Calculator that works with any world wide Lat/Long and Satellite Longitude
• Database of US Cities - including Lat/Long and pre-computed Magnetic Declination.
• User savable locations
• Updateable Satellite list. Now includes AMC 9 and removed Telstar 4
• DMS>DD Calculator
• Arc View at a Glance - See Look Angles for all North American Ku Birds at a Glance
• Offset Page - Once you found your 'landmark' satellite, how far to the other satellites?
• GPS support
• Magnetic Declination - Supports GPS calculated and User entered Magnetic Declination.
• Data Rate to Symbol Rate Conversion Calculator Data Rate to Symbol Rate and Symbol Rate to Data Rate
• Data Rate Presets
• Updated Menus and saved location/data information upon exiting and re-launching app.
• 0.0.8.72 updates include:
  • Fixed fatal bug upon initial launch of Application due to unopened newly created database. Also hides features uninstalled on the device.
  • Data Rate calculator computes Bandwidth - Occupied and Allocated.
  • US Cities database now 'beams' with application.
  • Slightly smaller/streamlined application

It's under constant development (or at least as often as someone sends me an email requesting a change or pointing out a bug), So watch for improvements.

Future developments include:

• Detailed State by State city databases with dozens of cities in each state. Download only the states you frequent and keep your Palm memory free!
• An automated Magnetic Declination Calculator - will use an updated algorithm to calculate magnetic declination based upon your current Lat and Long
• Streamlined coding- running faster and more compact.
• If enough interest is out there, this will be compiled for the Pocket PC
