This is what happens when you stay awake for 30+ hours and then try to do a video demo of an Android Application. I later redid this… but I thought it would be enertaining to pick on myself a little bit. It was a rather stupid sequence of events and hopefully you’ll enjoy this “Blooper” version of my Google Sky Map for Android Review.

This video shows a sneak peak into the Google Sky Map app! Full review coming soon! Subscribe for more! TO USE: Just point your phone into the sky, and the 3-axis accelerometer will reveal the identity of any stars, planets, or constellations…as well as point you in the direction of any you search for. (Whip out your telescope to see distant ones.)

Google Launches Sky Map Update Today, Google is launching an update to Sky Map, an Android app that enables users to view a labeled map of the sky that adjusts to both their locations and the movements of their mobile devices. The app uses GPS and Compass data, as well as the Date/Time, to determine what celestial objects the device is facing at a given moment. If it is pointed towards Venus, for example, users will see a labeled map of the sky with Venus and the objects surrounding it on their screens. Additionally, as users move their phones, the map displayed on the screen adjusts accordingly, enabling users to point their phones at the sky and discover what they are seeing (or could be seeing), wherever they may be.In addition to improvements in performance and a redesigned user-interface, Sky Map, now an official Google app, features a search tool that helps users discover where, relative to their current positions, planets and stars are located in the sky. For example, a search for ‘Polaris’ will direct users to move their phones until they are facing the North Star. The app guides users towards the star or planet they are trying to find and alerts them when they have arrived at the proper location. Not only will users be able to learn more about visible objects, but they can also now search and find stars and planets, the locations of which they may not know.

assume that somebody is standing in a place during a starry night and looking straight up sees a star.another one 100mls away sees another star over his head and a third one 200mls away at another direction does the same.the three stars makes a triangle on the skymap whose projection on earth’s surface is our three people.that’s exactly what i want too see.a triangle on earth’s surface.can any body suggest me a software that does this exactly?
Well, the best I can suggest is software used for telescopes. This software enables you to input the location of a person on Earth and then allows you to see what’s available to you from that location at specific moments in time. So if Person A is looking straight up and picks the star directly overhead, and Person B, say 1000 miles away at the exact same time looks straight up, they will see a different star (but will be able to look about 5 degrees towards Person A to see their star). And the Person C, at the same time can do the same in another location.
Using a telescope charting software (there are many) you can input your location and date/time and it can provide you a map of the stars overhead and you can look for the star closest to straight up.
If you are looking for a triangle, you might just use the constellation Cassiopia. (winter constellation in the USA). The full set of stars in it makes a "W" shape, but the last two points in the W are fainter and not as evenly spaced, so three of the stars really stand out and make what looks to be a perfect triangle. I believe the constellation is supposed to be a "throne", but I’ve forgotten some of the mythology around it.
Have fun!
This question was asked in my astrology class, however I don"t clearly understand, maybe you can?
Using the sky map how can you tell whether or not to look high in the sky or just over the horizon? (I’ll include the skymap)

Since the horizon is represented by the outer circumference of the circular chart, anything near that outer edge will be seen near the horizon. Objects closer to the center will be seen closer to the zenith.
