<p>
<a href="GypsySatellite.html" title="GypsySatellite"><span class="type">GypsySatellite</span></a> is used whenever the client program wishes to know about
changes in the satellite details. The satellite details contain the satellite
ID number (the PRN), the elevation, the azimuth, the signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) and whether or not the satellite was used to calculate the fix.
</p>
<p>
A <a href="GypsySatellite.html" title="GypsySatellite"><span class="type">GypsySatellite</span></a> object is created using <a href="GypsySatellite.html#gypsy-satellite-new"><code class="function">gypsy_satellite_new()</code></a> using the 
D-Bus path of the GPS device. This path is returned from the 
<a href="GypsyControl.html#gypsy-control-create"><code class="function">gypsy_control_create()</code></a> function. The client can then find out about the
visible satellites with <a href="GypsySatellite.html#gypsy-satellite-get-satellites"><code class="function">gypsy_satellite_get_satellites()</code></a> which returns a
GPtrArray containing the <a href="GypsySatellite.html#GypsySatelliteDetails"><span class="type">GypsySatelliteDetails</span></a> for each visible satellite.
Once the client is finished with this GPtrArray 
<a href="GypsySatellite.html#gypsy-satellite-free-satellite-array"><code class="function">gypsy_satellite_free_satellite_array()</code></a> should be used to free the data.
</p>
<p>
As the satellite information changes <a href="GypsySatellite.html" title="GypsySatellite"><span class="type">GypsySatellite</span></a> will emit the 
satellite-changed signal. This signal contains the satellite details in
a GPtrArray. In this case the satellite array does not need to be freed
with <a href="GypsySatellite.html#gypsy-satellite-free-satellite-array"><code class="function">gypsy_satellite_free_satellite_array()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Although gypsy-daemon only emits signals whenever the associated data has 
changed, satellite data is constantly changing, so so the satellite-changed
signal will be emitted at a rate of once every second.
</p>
