"This used to be an amazing app, but lately, I can`t get an accurate reading at all. Every time I calibrate, the app says the accuracy is high, but everything is completely off or missing altogether. Desperately in need of a fix."

"I used to love and use this app almost daily (nightly lol) but for the past year or so it won`t update my location, and the horizon is way way off. I`ll be outside looking at Saturn and this app claims the sun is just above my head? Hmm"

"Great app, use it all the time. Funny story: I was using Sky Map to point out the planets with my young daughter, and was counting off the planets (and Pluto) and was briefly confused when I could only count 8, not 9. Duh! You`re standing on the other one 😂"

DESCRIPTION
Sky Map is a hand-held planetarium for your Android device. Use it to identify stars, planets, nebulae and more. Originally developed as Google Sky Map, it has now been donated and open sourced.
Troubleshooting/FAQ
The Map doesn`t move/points in the wrong placeMake sure you haven`t switched into manual mode. Does your phone have a compass? If not, Sky Map cannot tell your orientation. Look it up here: http://www.gsmarena.com/
Try calibrating your compass by moving it in a figure of 8 motion or as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1EPbAapaeI.
Are there any magnets or metal nearby that might interfere with the compass?
Try switching off ``magnetic correction`` (in settings) and see if that is more accurate.
Why is autolocation not supported for my phone?In Android 6 the way permissions work has changed. You need to enable the location permission setting for Sky Map as described here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6270602?p=app_permissons_m
The Map is jittery If you have a phone that lacks a gyro then some jitter is to be expected. Try adjusting the sensor speed and damping (in settings).
Do I need an internet connection? No, but some functions (like entering your location manually) won`t work without one. You`ll have to use the GPS or enter a latitude and longitude instead.
Can I help test the latest features? Sure! Join our beta testing program and get the latest version. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.stardroid
