SATtracker for BlackBerry 10
Track ISS (International Space Station) and almost 1000 other satellites, see their current orbits and locations, calculate their visible night time passes over any location.
Features:
Did you know that the ISS (International Space Station) is one of the brightest and most spectacular object in the night sky? In favourable conditions its brightness (up to -4 Mag.) exceeds that of the brightest star (Sirius) and even the brightest planet (Venus), sometimes even by up to 8-16 times when the ISS produces flares as sunlight glints off its reflective surfaces - so it often becomes the third brightest object in our sky, after the Sun and the Moon. Many other satellites are also bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, so each of them is a great target for sky watchers.
Satellites orbit the Earth at very high speeds so they pass over one's location many times a day but they are visible only in certain conditions: when the sky is dark enough not to outshine them, and the Sun is not too low under the horizon for its light to still reach the satellite and get reflected by it. This means that satellites can be seen usually only shortly after the sunset or before the sunrise, and it only takes them several minutes to cross the sky and disappear.
That's why a satellite tracker like this one can be of great help to localize them. Just launch this program, select satellites of your interest and get all details of their locations and visible passes updated in real time.
SATtracker is now available in the BlackBerry World: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/59941047/
Features:
- supports ISS and 920+ other satellites which can be quickly selected from the built-in database and changed anytime
- automatically downloads current orbit data for highest precision, stores previously downloaded data for use without Internet connection
- track the ISS and two other freely selectable satellites at once
- see on map current satellite location and orbit path within the next hour with 5 minute steps
- get a detailed list of all upcoming visible night time passes over any location (date & time, duration, azimuth and elevation of approach, transit and departure)
- supports both GPS and manually entered coordinates of your location.

PanoRIMio for BlackBerry 10 (BB10)
PanoRIMio is a native (BB10 Cascades), feature rich Panoramio viewer for BlackBerry 10, providing you easy and quick access to tens of millions of Panoramio pictures from around the world, easier and quicker than on Panoramio itself. Countless images of any location are at your disposal within seconds and can be viewed in a multitude of ways.
Multiple location input options (address or place of interest, coordinates in either decimal or DMS format, map, current location from GPS) let you easily select the exact place you want to see pictures of, and you can even choose a range in kilometers around the selected point to include images from.
Don't want to browse by location? There is also a "Tag / Keyword" option that shows images by tags or subject - just type e.g. "HDR" to view tens of thousands of beautiful HDR pictures, or "sunset" to see countless sunset sceneries, or even "Car crash" for images of car accidents from all around the world. Or anything else you'd like to see.
Select from four gallery types to view the images in your preferred way: filmstip-like vertically scrollable list, tile grid, slideshow with configurable interval, or the classic map layer.
Whichever gallery type you choose, just tap on an image in a list or grid to show the details page with high-resolution image that can be resized and panned to see more detail, as well as all important data of that image: title, author, coordinates, and upload date.
Google Map button shows you the exact location at which the photo was taken on Google Maps (switchable between roadmap, satellite, hybrid and terrain views) and where available also StreetView button is shown providing one-click access to street view panorama of that place.
Features:
- native, small and fast
- multiple location input methods to see images by location: address or place name, coordinates (decimal or DMS), map, current location from GPS
- choose range (1-50 km) around selected location to include images from
- "Tag / keyword" input for viewing images by tag / subject rather than location
- four gallery types: vertical list, tile grid, slideshow (with configurable interval), map layer
- Google Maps and Street View integration showing the exact place pictures were taken at
- details shown for every image, including: title, author, upload date, coordinates. Direct links to author's page and image's page at Panoramio are always provided.
- one tap access to original (usually multi-megapixel) size of the image (save, share, set as wallpaper, etc.)
- more features coming soon.
PanoRIMio works on all BB10 devices and display aspect ratios.
It is now available in the BlackBerry World store: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/59937778/

GeoCoder 2.0 for BlackBerry 10 (BB10)
GeoCoder has been ported to BlackBerry 10 (native BB10 Cascades application), as a new version 2.0 providing a number of improvements and enhancements compared to Symbian and Harmattan versions.
GeoCoder is an application to provide A LOT of information about any location in the world, with just one tap. All you need to do is enter the desired location's data (either its adress - full or approximate, or its coordinates - in decimal or DMS format) or simply select it on a map, and the program will provide all the details listed below in just a few seconds. Additionally, the "Here" tab lets you quickly get all those details for your current location obtained from the GPS receiver.
Data provided by the program for ANY location include:
- precise GPS coordinates in decimal and DMS formats
- precise ground elevation above (or below at seas) the mean sea level (in meters and feet)
- full official address, and additionally
- country
- state
- county
- city district
- postal code
- road distance (from home location or current location) in km and miles
- estimated travel time (from home or current location), for either driving, biking or walking (selectable in Settings)
- time zone name and UTC offset
- Daylight saving time (Summer time) current status and offset
- current local time of a location
- sunrise, sunset and day length
- dusk, dawn and daylight duration
- moonrise and moonset
- current weather conditions (description, cloudiness, temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation).
Additionally, for any location you get a lot of additional information and functionality just by tapping on one of the seven color buttons located right below the textual information:
- Wikipedia button (White) - direct one-tap link to mobile Wikipedia page about the chosen location (place of interest, city, or county/area, depending on what is available) - contains rich information about location's history, population, economy, authorities, places of interest, and so on)
- Weather button (Blue) - provides 14-day weather forecast for the location (same details as for current weather, i.e. day/night temperatures, precipitation, humidity, cloudiness, wind speed/gust/direction, pressure, etc). Weather data comes from OpenWeatherMap.org and is updated in real time.
- Google Map button (Yellow) - provides fully functional Google Map of the location, with all map imagery types (Roadmap, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain), fully functional full screen Street View, and all important layers (overlays): Panoramio, Bicycling, Weather, Transit and Traffic.
The Street View layer shows persistent Street View coverage. Just tap on a location marked with blue color to get its Street View. Much easier to use than having to drag and drop the Pegman all the time, just to check if a given place is StreetView-enabled or not.
The Panoramio layer shows thousands of pictures uploaded by users and shown at locations they were taken at. In most cases they show the most interesting and beautiful things to be found at a given location. GeoCoder also provides a separate, very quick and easy to use Panoramio gallery for every location (see below).
The Bicycling layer shows all bike paths in a selected location.
The Weather layer shows temperatures and icons representing current weather conditions. Tap an icon to show daily data and a link to 10-day forecast at Weather.com. The Weather layer (once you zoom out to approximately country-level map zoom) also shows an overlay with clouds and thunderstorms.
The Transit layer shows all transit types in a selected location. It can be limited to show Subway, Bus, Train, or Tram only.
The Traffic layer shows current traffic conditions. The colors indicate the speed of traffic on the road compared to free-flowing conditions. For highways, green means there is a normal speed of traffic. The more red the roads become, the slower the speed of traffic on the road. Gray indicates there is no data available.
- Street View button (Purple) simply provides direct access to fully functional Street View of the selected location, so that you don't have to go through the Google Map to open it. Of course, it is active only where Street View is available.
- 360° Panorama button (Green) - shows static 360° panorama image of selected location, from Google Static Panorama API. It shows the same view as Street View and you can only turn around, but it's simply a quicker (and less data-consuming) way to just take a quick look of how a location looks like. Like Street View button, this button is only active where the imagery is available from Google. No screenshots here, as they simply look the same as an example Street View screenshot shown earlier.
- Route/Navigation button (Orange) - just press it to instantly get a route from your current (or home) location to the destination calculated and shown in the native BlackBerry Maps application, where with just one tap on the "Start" button you can instantly start navigating.
- Panoramio Gallery button (Light-Blue) - opens an easy to browse Panoramio gallery, which shows all images (i.e. often hundreds or thousands) tagged with GPS coordinates within the range of +/- 0.02 degrees latitude and longitude (i.e. a few kilometers) from the selected location, which assures that all pictures shown closely match the chosen location. The gallery shows 10 pictures per page, just press "More" to show another page and so on. Tap on an image to open its full-size original version in the web browser from where you can e.g. save it or set it as a wallpaper. Author's name is a link to author's page (with all his pictures) at Panoramio.com. Panoramio logo is a link to the picture's Panoramio page. For each picture its title is also shown.
The Settings screen lets you choose to either always obtain your current location from the GPS receiver, or you can enter a fixed home location. If a fixed location is enabled, certain data (e.g. road distance and travel time) is calculated between your home and the destination. Otherwise, if "Current GPS location" is selected, the program will always calculate road distance and travel time between the destination and your current location. If you spend most of your time in the same location (e.g. same city) entering fixed home coordinates may make the program work faster as it won't have to get your location from the GPS each time you're looking up a new location data...
The Settings screen also lets you choose whether travel time should be calculated for driving, biking, or walking. The application comes with Help/About screen containing all the above information.
