Newsflash

Now that EarthView is done it's time to move onto the next new app.  This one will be called TravelMap and will build on the basic components of EarthView to add in the ability for you to enter in all of the locations you've visited around the world and show them on the globe or map presentation.  Think of it as an electronic version of the old wall map with the push pins for all the places you'd been.

HamSat is a visualization/utility application that allows you to see the location of amateur radio satellites tracked by NORAD in realtime over the Earth (up to two satellites may be tracked simultaneously).  

You can see the Earth rendered either as a 3D globe or a 2D map using photo realistic texture maps for the Earth model. The orientation of the map is easily changed by a simple rotation of the device from portrait (3D) to landscape (2D). In either orientation you can zoom in and out as well as pan using the touch screen. Controls are given to allow you to select: the texture maps used, whether shading is performed, whether to draw political boundaries and if a lat/lon grid should be presented.  

In addition, the application can calculate the rise/set times for a selected satellite, the Sun or the Moon given either the user entered or network retrieved location.
