Simon’s World Map

Posted on March 24, 2024March 19, 2025 By Carl
Satellites, Software

Loading

UPDATE: 03-10-2025 Simon has updated the map (Current: Version 1.4.4)

Version 1.4.0 shown using my global geo satellite imagery, and selected features of the World Map. Notice the added scroll bar option at the bottom!
  • Improved Appearance settings:
    • Clock: Optional display of seconds (HH:MM or HH:MM:ss)
    • Full Screen: Mouse over map now displays (X)
    • Help files now include images
    • Optional Logos for non-Ham users (Ribbon Bar, View, Logo)
  • Superb new maps from Maps In Minutes
  • WWV alerts scrolling added (Ribbon bar, Space Weather, Data, Geophysical Alert Message) – future multi-threaded update for smoother flow. (LOVE THIS FEATURE!!)
  • Improved Zoom:
    • Smoother transition from 100% to zoomed view
    • Fixed sun, moon etc. centre tracking
    • Keyboard zoom with – and + keys
    • Zoomed view: Ribbon bar drops down when mouse reaches top of display
    • Adjusted zoom scroll granularity (mouse wheel, shift)

ntroducing the ultimate world map for satellite enthusiasts: a powerful and user-friendly tool that goes way beyond just showing you the Earth!

Have you ever wished your world map could do more?

This software is a game-changer. It’s packed with features specifically designed for satellite enthusiasts, like:

  • DDE tracking: Stay on top of your favorite satellites with effortless precision.
  • Rotator support: Control your rotator antenna directly through the software for seamless operation.
  • Add stations and customize the map: Make it your own and tailor it to your exact needs.
  • And so much more!

This is more than just a map – it’s a complete satellite enthusiast’s toolkit.

Plus, it’s:

  • Lightweight: Runs smoothly on any Windows system without bogging down your computer.
  • Easy to use: No need to be a tech wiz to get started.

Don’t settle for ordinary world maps. Take your satellite exploration to the next level!

Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 compatible. x86 architecture required.

Since I already generate them, I am using a daily global received geo sat image as the background map. The software has a list of maps, and a custom section for you to add your own, which I did here.

The world map can be downloaded from Simon’s site here https://www.sdr-radio.com/world-map
