Description
Scroll, zoom and search through a US Geological Survey map of the moon! LunarMap 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 Lite include
- Nearside and farside of the moon
- Realistic US Geological Survey relief map (2560x2560 resolution)
- Searchable labels for over 1850 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
If you upgrade to LunarMap HD, you get this, plus:
- Over 7000 additional features marked on the map
- Higher resolution USGS maps (5120x5120)
- Color-coded topological maps
- Very high resolution Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Wide Angle Camera photographic maps (10240x10240)
- Realtime terminator (shadow) line
Note: To save app download time, the farside map is a separate free in-app download, hence the Internet permission.

Best Moon map for Android Works great on my HTC Flyer tablet. Like the customization options on the map, and especially the detail slider for feature labels.
