Description
Moon maps galore! Scroll, zoom and search through high resolution US Geological Survey and NASA maps. LunarMap HD is fun for anybody who wants to see and know more about earth's lovely satellite and is a great companion for amateur astronomy observations through a telescope.Features of LunarMap HD include
- Nearside and farside of the moon
- Realistic US Geological Survey relief map (5120x5120 resolution)
- Beautiful photographic map from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's Wide Angle Camera (10240x10240)
- Color-coded topological maps from both the USGS and NASA
- Realtime terminator (shadow) line
- Searchable labels for over 8950 craters, maria, mountains, valleys, Apollo landing sites and more, based on International Astronomical Union data; tap on feature for more information or to lookup in Wikipedia
- Rotate and/or flip the map to match your telescope's eyepiece view, or for users in the southern hemisphere
- Zoom with two fingers (multitouch devices only), on-screen buttons or volume keys
- Customize colors, labels shown and other features
- Optionally lock screen rotation or make it harder to change so you need to turn the device further than usual to rotate to prevent accidental screen rotations while observing
- The maps are 2D. The nearside maps are projected to show a small portion of the farside, since libration can reveal a small portion of the farside
Note: To save app download time, maps other than the USGS relief nearside map involve an additional free in-app download, hence the Internet permission.

Terrific on Acer tablet By far the best android moon app I've seen for use with a telescope. May replace my Rukl atlas. Suggestions: add the ability to show terminator at dates and times in the future...add librations for terminator accuracy...incorporate USGS Geologic Map of the Moon.

This is nice... This is the best lunar map. I have an 8 in. dob telescope, and what I see through it, is exactly what this app shows, incredible! Crater for crater, basin for basin, wow! This app actually help me find Bailly, I have spent months looking for it, never did. This app did for me. Astronomy freaks, here it is. Thank you dev. Htc evo

Works great Just what I was looking for, replaces my big foldout map plus I can flip it to any orientation. Motorola triumph.

Detailed but slow Everyap you could want and many more. The detail is superb and labelling is clear. It appears that everything is held on a web site and this app accesses it so at times it is a bit slow to respond. Search facilities are good but not completely comprehensive: I wanted to find the Apollo landing sites but Apollo in the search only finds the feature named after Apollo missions on the far side. To sum up: a great worth the 63p I paid.

Great application of Lunar Maps Excellent adaptation of lunar mapping to the Android phones. Running on Rezound and very responsive. Lots of options to make it very useful. Good app.

Best Lunar App for Android! Excellent Moon map which makes it much easier to look up lunar features that I see through my telescope. A joy to use on my tablet right at the eyepiece!
