Question Google Sky Map

On my HTC Hero i got a program called "Google sky map" that my wife find very usefull. I'm wondering if it's possible to find a similar programm for Leo, free of course.

Or, do i have to change wife?

There is a WinMo proggie called Astro Navigator. Not free unfortunately. But wife change not mandatory.

Just resurrecting this. I have a Leo and the wife has a Hero. I have app envy and would like a freebie to match her sky map.

This is one of several apps that are making me hesitant to move to HD2.

The Astro Navigator does not work on every device. It hangs on my Leo, as soon as I go to settings->location. Site says it can't work with some GPS.

Astro Navigator also only shows a star map of your GPS location... at least it only did last time I tried it and doesn't claim any differently looking at the website. You would swipe to look at the constellations and then look up to find them.
Google Sky Maps not only uses GPS for location but you actually point the phone at the sky and will tell you the stars you are looking at, angle the phone lower or higher and see different stars, when you turn around so does the map. To top it off it's free.

Astro is severely handicapped by comparison in my opinion
