Go see Heavens Above's display.
A 58.5 degree inclination orbit puts the satellite over a great deal of populated land. (0 degrees inclination means a satellite flies over the equator. 90 degrees inclination means the satellite flies over the poles. An inclination greater than 90 degrees means the satellite retrogrades.)
Try tracking the satellite yourself by installing and running John A. Magliacane's Predict program which runs on any Unix platform. I posted step by step instructions for the Mac OS X port in DIY Satellite Tracking.
