	The Android skymap is an awesome app to pass the time whilst night fishing. Saw Mars last March, and seen the ISS a few times.

	...i can see the Plough. But the app doesnt show it?. Just a big dragon constellation (Draco)

	That's the point though it would put the stuff in over the top. I know it doesn't add any thing information wise but would be cooler imo to augment it, it's what I was expecting hence my disappointment

It's pretty accurate anyway so just about the same.

	I decided to buy the full version of SkyView in the end, and its great that I can also use the full iPad version at no extra cost too. :cool: Never really been into astronomy before, seems quite fascinating.

	The App name you want for IOS is "SkyView Free" also, ISSLite is good to track the ISS across your sky :)

	I had something like this whereby it shown you patterns and positioning in a live view (based on GPS and direction) and it overlayed that on screen. let me see if I can find the name of it for you.

	Only alternative I could find on the iPhone was about £15.

	Believe its called Google Skymap on the play store. I used to have it on my Desire. Try search for that on iTunes store.

	My sister-in-law's husband has some kind of app on his Samsung phone that gives him the names of stars as he waves his phone around in the air (using GPS I imagine). Does anyone know if such an app exists for iOS?
