Droid Sky View (Star Map)

Description
Now you can have a virtual sky map in your pocket! Look through the eyes of your Android device to see a virtual window into the whole visible universe. All you have to do is point your Android device at the sky and Droid Sky View will tell you exactly what you are looking at. Using state of the art GPS technology, an accurate 3D universe, and all of the latest high tech functionality. Droid Sky View calculates – in real time - the current location of every star and planet visible from Earth and shows you precisely where they are, even in broad daylight!
Want to know what that bright star is called? Point your device at it – you might just find out it’s a planet!
Want to know what the night sky looks like to people on the other side of the earth? Well just point your device down!
Want to know where your star sign is in the sky? The Star Chart View will tell you all this and more.
