GpsPrune is an application for viewing, editing and converting coordinate data from GPS systems. Basically it's a tool to let you play with your GPS data after you get home from your trip. It can load data from arbitrary text-based formats (for example, any tab-separated or comma-separated file) or Xml, or directly from a GPS receiver. It can display the data (as map view using openstreetmap images and as altitude profile), edit this data (for example delete points and ranges, sort waypoints, compress tracks), and save the data (in various text-based formats). It can also export data as a Gpx file, or as Kml/Kmz for import into Google Earth, or send it to a GPS receiver.

This package accesses the Space-Track web site, http://www.space-track.org, and retrieves orbital data from this site. You must register and get a username and password before you can make use of this package, and you must abide by the site's restrictions, which include not making the data available to a third party. In addition, the celestrak method queries http://celestrak.com/ for a named data set, and then queries http://www.space-track.org/ for the orbital elements of the objects in the data set. Beginning with version 0.017, there is provision for retrieval of historical data. Nothing is exported by default, but the shell method/subroutine can be exported if you so desire. Most methods return an HTTP::Response object. See the individual method document for details. Methods which return orbital data on success add a 'Pragma: spacetrack-type = orbit' header to the HTTP::Response object if the request succeeds.
