    🛰️ ISS/Satellite Tracker v2.0 Release Notes

    This major update transforms the ISS Tracker into a Universal Satellite Tracker. You can now track any satellite in the NORAD catalog, scan for WiFi networks, and use the M5Stack GPS module for automatic location updates.

    🚀 New Features

    • Custom Satellite Tracking: You are no longer limited to the ISS! Enter any NORAD Catalog Number (e.g., 20580 for Hubble, 33591 for NOAA 19) in the settings menu to track it.
    • GPS Module Support: Added support for the Cardputer LoRa/GPS extension. The device can now automatically update your Latitude/Longitude and sync time from GPS satellites.
    • WiFi Network Scanner: No need to manually type your SSID anymore. The new WiFi menu scans for nearby networks and lets you select one from a list.
    • Arrow Key Navigation: You can now cycle through the dashboard screens (Home, Live, Radar, Pass) using the arrow keys (< and >) on the keyboard, in addition to the G0 button.

    🛠️ Improvements & Fixes

    • Smart TLE Updates: Changing the satellite ID now automatically triggers a TLE download.
    • Reset to Default: Added a quick "Reset to ISS" option in the Satellite menu.
    • Stale Data Fix: The home screen now correctly clears old satellite names if a download fails or the ID is invalid.
    • File System Cleanup: Fixed a bug where TLE data would append to the file instead of overwriting it, preventing file bloat and parsing errors.
    • UI Polish: Adjusted the Home Screen layout to prevent text from overlapping with the header line.

    Enjoy!
