What's New in SatPathFinder

2.3

July 17, 2026

Keplerian elements for satellites launched since mid-July can no longer be represented in the classic TLE (Two-Line Elements) format. Celestrak now provides the data in JSON format. In contrast, Amsat continues to supply data exclusively in TLE format.

Präzision

Überflugzeiten stimmen nicht

Response from developer

Die App benutzt die SGP4 bzw. SDP4 Algorithmen. Bei aktuellen Daten beträgt die Abweichung ca. 0.2 Sekunden. Täglich können ca. 0,2 -0,5 Sekunden dazu kommen. Für den Heimgebrauch ist die Genauigkeit mehr als ausreichend. Eine größere Abweichung ergibt sich meistens durch eine falsche Standortangabe. Das bedeutet, dass die angegebenen Daten nicht für den Beobachter Standort berechnet wurden.

Keppler Daten und Frequenzen?

Ich nutze die App grundsätzlich gerne, habe aber das Problem, dass viele Frequenzen der Amaterufunksatelliten nicht in der App angezeigt werden. Oder hab ich etwas übersehen?

Response from developer

Aktuelle Frequenzen kann der Anwender gerne selber hinzufügen. Pro Satellit stehen drei Transponderkonfigurationen zur Verfügung.

Completely inaccurate

This app has zero support for one. The main issue it gets 1 star is the predictions are anywhere from 2-10min behind the actual pass. I spent a month with zero success even getting the ISS repeater to open…went out and bought a new radio, rebuilt my antenna twice because I was always behind the satellites pass trusting this worthless app. Get GoSatWatch, first time I used it heard QSO’s and broke squelch on the ISS. This app is TRASH!

Response from developer

It seems you have set up a wrong user location.

Not user friendly

This app has zero support, I can’t even get it to load the odd

Einfach gut

Steuerung mit 705 funktioniert problemlos. Finde die App insgesamt gut, könnte noch etwas intuitiver werden.

Was mich aber total stört ist, dass die App beim Start nicht automatisch die Bahnelemente zieht. So hatte ich schon häufiger das Problem, mit alten Bahndaten gearbeitet zu haben. Wäre toll, wenn es da zumindest ein Opt-In gäbe.
