This project tracks the International Space Station using API provided by Open-Notify.
It shows you the location of ISS in a map.
You can also see your location and the next closest time at which the ISS is going to be passing over you in the same map.
For that to work, you will have to hard-code your location.
By default, the location is set to the GPS co-ordinates of NASA.
To change it to your co-ordinates, first find your co-ordinates and paste them in lines 48 and 49 of the code.
Paste your latitude in my_lat = float( your latitude goes here ) Line 48 in the code
Paste your longitude in my_lon = float( your longitude goes here ) Line 49 in the code
