This is puzzling since I thought that the openstarmap was for a much higher OS than android 1.6. This tablet is so cheap that I couldn't even download from the market that came with it! LunarMap uses a lot of memory to smooth the scrolling. I wonder if that was the issue? You might want to try 1.11, which improves memory handling a little. Are you going to make an .apk file available for the 1.11 version? My tablet is not a supported device on the google market.

And does it say under it "Only in HD version"?

You run Android Market just as before on your device, go to My Apps, and there should be an update option.

On Google Play, I had to manually go through my list of installed apps, which is over 100. Luckily, it's in alphabetical order. But the info for LunarMaps HD only shows that I purchased it, not that an update is available. I had to take a chance and press on "Purchased" to update the app. Not intuitively obvious at all! This is not good for consumers, writers or vendors. Nowhere on Google Play is there any information saying that any apps have an update available. When I would run Android Market, the first thing I saw were notices for updates. But at least I see the satellite objects on LM HD now.

Google Play, Google +, Google Whatchmacallit, Google Gizmo, Google ... are there instead. I think Google is the New Apple. I don't like it.

The main new feature is the 1971 USGS Geologic Map of the Moon (with a scan of the geologic description, which can be accessed via MENU | Legend). Nearside only, I am afraid. In the screenshot, the black labels are a part of the official map, and the yellow labels are added on by LunarMap.

I actually enjoy the HD version very much at my scope. Thanks! Quote: Why don't you add the possibility to import custom maps? I could, but the format isn't very user-friendly, and it takes a lot of work to generate a map. If there is interest from multiple people, though, I can easily add the feature to the HD version. Download a map from <a href="http://pruss.mobi/dl/lunarmap/">here</a> to your PC. Then change the .lunarmap extension to .zip, and you can unzip the file and see what's inside it. What you'll find inside it is an index.txt file, as well as lots of jpg files. The jpeg files provide map tiles at five or six different resolutions. So to generate a map, you need a high resolution moon image at a resolution that can be nicely divided up into 640x640 tiles, say 10240x10240 or 5120x5120. Then you divide it up into tiles. Rescale to half size. Repeat until you resize to a single 640x640 tile. And then add a 320x320 tile. The tile filenames start with "lib" if the image is "librated". This means that it was projected with a modified projection that adds 7 or so degrees of the other side of the moon, so you get coverage for libration. I can give you the formula I used for the projection. If you want straight orthographic projection, then you just don't start the tile filenames with "lib". There are some other pieces of information you can include in the index.txt file, such as indicating that it's a map of the farside. If after looking at all this, you're still interested, let me know. I have all sorts of messy conversion code, too. But if the source map is public domain (like the NASA / US government ones I use), you may just want to ask me to convert it for you and make it available in the next release.

This has some significant optimizations which should make for a smoother (but still not perfect) experience. Also, I've changed how the Lite version works. The Lite version now has available all the maps of the HD version. However, the Lite version watermarks the screen when you do more than 8X zoom. Previously, zooming past 8X resulted in simply blowing up the 8X image, i.e., pixelation. Now you have the full resolution map, with the annoying word "LITE" on top of it to encourage you to go for the HD version. It might be a couple of hours before the new version shows up on Google Play. If all works well, I'll upload to the Amazon Appstore in a day or so. If you are a Lite user and you really like the previous Lite version (1.14), for at least a little while it's available here. By the way, LunarMap works great with Bluestacks on a Windows 7 laptop.
