well. Gpredict uses the SGP4/SDP4 algorithms, which are compatible with the
NORAD Keplerian elements.
-Gpredict aims to have the following features as we move towards version 1.0:
- * Be able to track a large number of satellites (only limited by
- the physical memory of the computer)
- * Track for several ground stations, not just one.
- * Show the satellite data using various visualization modules
- (lists, maps, polar views, etc.)
- * Predict upcomming passes for the satellites.
- * Automatically update keplerian elements.
- * Control your receiver/transmitter and antenna rotators.
- * Advanced schedule manager for unattended monitoring of satellites.
- * External hooks for performing certain actions during satellite passes.
- * Any desirable feature that is missing from other programs (feel
- free to submit your ideas)
+FEATURES
+========
+Gpredict includes the following features:
-STATUS
-======
+ * Tracking an infinite number of satellites only limited by the
+ physical memory and processing power of the computer.
+ * Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any
+ combination of these.
+ * You can have many modules open at the same either in a
+ notebook or in their own windows. The module can also run in
+ full-screen mode.
+ * You can use many ground stations. Ground station coordinates
+ can either be entered manually or you can get some appriximate values
+ from a list with more than 2000 predefined locations worldwide.
+ * Predict upcoming passes for satellites, including passes where a
+ satellite may be visible and communication windows
+ * Very detailed information about both the real time data and the
+ predicted passes.
+ * Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and
+ backward), and manual time control.
+ * Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld.
+ * Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld.

REQUIREMENTS
============
Gpredict is written using the Gtk+ widget set, which is available for most
-Unix like operating systems, Mac and Windows.
+Unix like operating systems, Mac and Windows. Following libraries are required
+for successful compilation of Gpredict:
+
+- Gtk+ 2.12 or later
+- Curl and libcurl (optional but highly recommended)
+- Hamlib (runtime only, not required for build)
+
+If you compile Gpredict from source you will also need the development parts
+of the above mentioned libraries, i.e. gtk+-dev or gtk+-devel and so on.

To install gpredict from source unpack the source package with:

-UPGRADING FROM 0.5
-==================
-
-As of version 0.6 most of the program has been rewritten breaking compatibility
-with earlier versions. Although earlier versions will not cause any known
-troubles, I strongly suggest that you remove any pre 0.6 versions before
-installing version 0.6 or later. Gpredict 0.6 or later will not be able to use
-configuration or other user data from pre 0.6 versions.
