Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how/where I can get the code for the AO51, AO27, ISS, SO50, etc., Google tracking gadgets powered by N2YO? See AO27’s gadget here: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=7&retURL=/sa... (halfway down) I see these things on a couple different sites, so there must be an easier way to get it on my page without creating an entire new gadget.
BTW, for those of you that will be commuting to Dayton, you can board the ark in Cincinnati. ;-) It does look like the rain is going to hold off for most of the weekend:
Friday, 20th: Partly Sunny, 74F Saturday, 21st: Partly Sunny, 76F Sunday, 22nd: Mostly Sunny w/ a 30% chance of storms. 80F

I'm not sure if this will answer your question. I've used the individual N2YO pages to check the satellites that I'm interested in with the amateur birds listed at:
http://n2yo.com/satellites/?c=18
Clicking on an individual link brings up a page giving the details. That page also has a link which leads to another one which shows the real-time tracking. It helps to know what the official name or NORAD ID is to get the right link.
I've put the links to the satellites I track in my bookmark file.

My guess would be that he is passing the DDE satellite position output from some tracking program to Google Maps via KML (Keyhole Markup Language)...
See http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/ for more info on KML.

You go to the Amsat page you referenced, do a View Page Source from your browser. Copy the link for the gadget and change the satid line to the correct Norad ID for the satellite you want the gadget to track. Embed the new edited link in your web page and you're good to go!
You should probably also go to Google and the N2YO web-sites and make sure you have permission to use their gadget. Don't want to violate any copyrights!

I read through their terms of use and I can't find anything that says I can't do that. If I was going to alter it in some fashion I would guess that I probably shouldn't be doing this, but if I am just using it for its intended purpose I don't see an issue with it.
Thanks for the responses!
