biba Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi, I'm new on this forum, I'discovered it by searching for GPS-prediction software. I'm working as a topograpgic and hydrographic surveyor around the world. In a former company we used soft- and hardware from trimble. In this software, there was a possibility to give a location in Lat/Lon and the software generates several graphical-'plots'like a skyplot etc..., when and where which SV (GPS-satelite) is and when it is 'visible' for your receiver at that location. As I now work for another company in the same function I'm looking for such similar software to schedule GPS-measurments, in different places. This is usefull if you work very northernly, or between buildings where the only open sky is north. Proffesionaly, I now work with Thales Aquarius transmitters and receivers (diff-GPS) and sometimes with older equipment like sercel NR103, and for hand-holds with Thales Mobile mapper and the older Garmin XL 12. For personal use I have a Magellan Meridium Furtheron, it seems a nice thing that geocache....it is new to me, but for sure I will try some of these caches.... thanks in advance.

+Timpat Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 meanwhile I find also other software for this problem: http://www.skyfix.com/Thales_geo/library/e59374_5.zip WOW...I just downloaded this sky plot program and it is fantastic! I work with Trimble GPS to survey, and this program seems as good as the Trimble desktop sky plot utility. Have to play more with this one. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
Wild T2 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Another satellite predictor from Leica. http://downloads.leica-geosystems.com/down...manac/index.htm Don't forget to keep your almanac file up to date. Quote Link to comment
Kerry. Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 The Trimble prediction software is available for download but considering the download is over 20mb and the Leica Satellite availability is less than 1mb and does the same thing then I'd use the download link in T2's post. There's also a Magellan mission planning software version that is capable of including GLONASS predictions. Cheers, Kerry. Quote Link to comment
_mo_ Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) I'd also like to suggest the following site: http://www.bigfattail.com they're PocketSat+ is a palm/ppc based sat tracking program. Edited March 19, 2004 by _mo_ Quote Link to comment
