Sky Map

Sky Map turns your Android device into a window on the night sky.

Changes 1.10.2 - RC5 : Updates for the upcoming North American Solar Eclipse

APK 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.

Make 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

Try calibrating your compass by moving it in a figure of 8 motion or as described

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.

In Android 6 the way permissions work has changed. You need to enable the location permission setting for Sky Map as described

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).

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.
