Orbcomm View or Nova for Windows?
Orbcomm View was derived from Nova for Windows and shares many of its features.
In addition to virtually all of Orbcomm View's capabilities, Nova adds:
Automatic antenna control (with appropriate hardware interface);
Integrated download of Keplerian elements, and superior maps;
Integrated time-setting
Both programs can track an unlimited number of satellites. Orbcomm View's advantages are its somewhat smaller size and easier what-if time navigation.

150-MHz Pentium or better
256-color (or more) graphics
8 MB RAM (minimum)
