# Orbits.js
A small library to display satellite orbits from two-line elements via Google Maps.
[Live preview](http://rossengeorgiev.github.io/orbits-js/preview.html)
## Example usage
```javascript
var myMap = new google.maps.Map(...);
var myTLE = new orbits.TLE(tle_text);
var mySat = new orbits.Satellite({ map: myMap, tle: myTLE});
// You can also parse a file containing many TLEs
var TLE_Array = orbits.util.praseTLE(tle_text);
```
