+Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction
+application. It can track an unlimited number of satellites and
+display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and
+polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also predict the time of
+future.
+
+Gpredict is different from other satellite tracking programs
+in that it allows you to group the satellites into visualisation
+modules. Each of these modules can be configured independently
+from the others giving you unlimited flexibility concerning the
+look and feel of the modules. Naturally, Gpredict will also
+allow you to track satellites relatively to different observer
+locations - at the same time.
+
+This requires goocanvas.
