Nice find mate, but I found it awkward to get the pass times for my location. The nearest listed to me is over 70 miles away.

I use Heavens-Above website and get very accurate times for even the smallest location. You just type in your location and save it, click on the ISS, and hey presto. Each time you return the location is remembered.
