Track the International Space Station

Here's a fun app which tracks the International Space Station, The ISS, live and shows it on a world map so you can see where it's flying over.

There are versions of the app for VCL, FireMonkey FMX, and TMS WEB Core as a web page too.

Opening and compiling the app

1. You will need a recent copy of RAD Studio or Delphi. You can download a trial or the free CE version here: www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi

2. To open and compile the app's source code you will need to install the TMS FNC Map Control. The web app version requires TMS WEB Core. Both are available at www.tmssoftware.com

Where can I see the ISS Tracking app in action?

I wrote this for an episode of our Embarcadero Winter Webinar 2024 series. You can catch the webinar replay via the link below - the app appears around 46 minutes in - but the webinar has some other cool tips and tricks too.

The video shows the app in use and explains how I did it.
