Public Beta (2021 09 05)
Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2021 3:57 am
Following on from the thread about the 2021 09 04 public beta
Some bugs in that version have now been fixed, including the satellite maximum elavation calculation
Swedish language support has also been added.
A new public beta is available here

Notes.
1. Localisation files are now also available see https://www.opengd77.com/downloads/Publ ... alisation/
2. Satellite Maximum Elavation values are rounded to the nearest whole number. So if the max elavation was 48.5, this will be rounded to 49.
but 48.499 will show as 48 deg
Hence I have seen some passes show as 90 deg, because the actual value was 89.7 deg.
I've not noticed any passes above 90 deg so far , but if the predicion code generates angles > 90.5 deg, (which should never happen) then tthe GD77 would show the max elevation as 91 deg.
I've tripple checked the output of the satellite calculation code, but becuase there are a lot of variables, including the keps and location and time etc, then there will be some variation of max elevation between the GD77 and other prediction programs.
