Although, I, and doubtless dishpointer, could do without another
rival, you may care to take a look at my own sat pages, which include
a calculator page, and analysis pages explaining the formulae used:
http://www.macfh.co.uk/JavaJive/AudioVisualTV/SatelliteTV/SatelliteTV.html
As far as DP itself is concerned, you may care to note that while the
site itself is accurate, easily accurate enough for purpose, the last
time I tested the widget that you can insert into your own pages, it
was not, in that it draws the azimuth out by about +0.5 degree. Also,
when I last checked, I suspected the site was using the wrong crank
angles for the Moteck SG2100 & PanSat PM900S rotors. There are other
things I don't like about DP, but unlike the above which users have a
right to know, they are more to do with taste and style, so I'll skip
on them, but you can understand why I went to the time and trouble of
witing my own calculator page.
My calculator page currently uses Open Layers to load Google, and/or,
for locations in the UK, an Ordnance Survey map. I am currently
rewriting the Google map to use Google's API directly, rather than
using OL, because since I first published it about 6 months ago, a
number of bugs have crept into OL. The new version of the page isn't
published yet, but is working under localhost, and I hope to publish
shortly.
As far as actually drawing markers is concerned, I started a thread
here a while ago, which you may care to take a look at:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/919f95efba949f22#
Note that getting a good, robust calculator page that will work in all
the major browsers is difficult, quite possibly considerably more so
than you anticipate. The cross-browser differences in handling forms
are quite bad enough, before you even reach those related to mapping.
