SkyMap support for Iridium flares has been around for quite a while:

Mods from SkyMap 6.1 to 6.2
---------------------------
SkyMap can now be used to find Iridium flares.  Satellite tracks for flares
brighter than 1st magnitude are plotted in bright yellow for the portion
exceeding magnitude 1.0.  SkyMap determines which Iridium satellites can
flare by their 5-digit NORAD designation...
