This app was starting to act funny and not tracking my movements on my Xperia Play, now it seems to have uncontrollable shaking on both my Galaxy Nexus and a Droid Razr. Razr on stock rom, Nexus on AOKP. Star Chart works perfectly and is completely accurate it seems. Is anyone else having problems?
Google Sky Map broken?

same issue here...however i thought it was only an ICS issue.....also, FWIW, i believe google has stopped support for sky map, so dont expect an update for it to fix the problem 
I've noticed that the compass has trouble staying calibrated on the galaxy nexus.
interesting thing is, the compass in maps/streetview works just fine.
Anyway here is my fix and it's never failed.

When you open it it'll tell you to calibrate or that the calibration is wrong. you then move the phone in a figure 8 while parallel to the ground.
go back into skymap, and everything will work as it's suppose to.
as far as i can tell it'll work until the phone is shut off and then you have to do it again.
it's a little annoying but this is a sure, albeit, temporary, fix.
