3.1.4 seems to be broken, bad data, missing data #139

Seems there is something wrong with 3.1.4 version. For me I do not see any pass of Tevel for example and my friend on same version on different phone can see such passes, but have altitude like 577 000 km. Hades even 6 milion KM

Something gets wrong..

If I can help somehow with ADB or something, let me know...

Hey @petrkr, thanks for reporting this. This is definitely not a calculation issue but rather a data issue. Satellites that have [-] in name are usually out of orbit, so the TLE data they have stops being correct. The app never deletes the satellites from the database just in case there is a combination of online/offline sources or files that you want to update from. In the future releases I can separate TLEs from local files in it's own category, so they won't be cleaned up on an update from online sources.

As for now I'd suggest manually cleaning up the TLEs and updating the sat database. I've just done that and the only Hades I can see is Hades-D (SO-121) which displays the information correctly.
