The 2 Dogs Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) This site is very cool. It allows you to view the Earth as currently seen from any of the GPS satellites. (or any sat actually). In real time. A very different perspective to Geocaching indeed. Can you see your GPS down there? GPS Satellite Views. Use your GPS to find out what sats it is using at present, i.e ones that are above you right now, then select from the list. Usually they are called "GPS GIIR ?? (PRN ??)"

ghOzt Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 What a great site! There are lots of things to look at on the main page. Quote Link to comment
+Halden Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 That is excellent. I think I see my Legend from GPS 22 Quote Link to comment
The 2 Dogs Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 It's when the Sats are off at a very acute angle that the view is most interesting. When you look at ithe Earth from their end you can see why you lose some sats very easily in some situations. Quote Link to comment
+Imajika Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 WOW! How cool is that?!?! Thanks for this link! Now I have something else to waste my time with today. I can't cache today, it's snowing and the roads SUCK. I barely made it home from work today...almost took the scenic route into a ditch. I can post to the forums and check on satellites instead.

+rusty_tlc Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I don't have my GPS but you can type in coordinates. The interesting thing is I knew which coordinates put me right over Nevada, that wouldn't have happened pre-geocaching. Quote Link to comment
