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.
