NAME

Net::GPSD::Satellite - Provides an interface for a gps satellite object.

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::GPSD;
  my $obj=Net::GPSD->new();
  my $i=0;
  print join("\t", qw{Count PRN ELEV Azim SNR USED}), "\n";
  foreach ($obj->getsatellitelist) {
    print join "\t", ++$i,
                     $_->prn,
                     $_->elev,
                     $_->azim,
                     $_->snr,
                     $_->used;
                     $_->oid;
    print "\n";
  }
