LunarMap Lite

Moon maps galore! Scroll, zoom and search through high resolution US Geological Survey and NASA maps. 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.
The Lite version watermarks zoom levels above 8X and does not include terminator (shadow line) display and satellite features (e.g., it includes Plato but not Plato B).

Features of LunarMap include:
- Nearside and farside of the moon
- Realistic US Geological Survey relief map (5120x5120 resolution)
- Beautiful photographic map from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's Wide Angle Camera (nearside 20480x20480)
- Color-coded topological maps from both the USGS and NASA
- Realtime terminator (shadow) line
- Searchable labels for over 1900 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

Note: To save app download time, maps other than the USGS relief nearside map involve an additional free in-app download, hence the Internet permission.

This is not a very good map for astronomy.No rays or bright features are on the map. Feature outlines and labels seem to be all or nothing. The map is very low contrast.

Nothing spectacular but probably worth the download even ifts only for a day or so. Good to start learning the names of craters etc

I downloaded a few of the Lunar Maps and they zoom great. The detail and labeling of features is also great. I bought the HD version.

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

Very nice app. Upgraded to the paid version within minutes of trying it out. Everyone from the new or casual observer, to the advanced amateur or professional will love it.

I'm glad I didn't pay for this. It's a frontal moon image only. No dark side of the moon. Boring, dumb and dull. Uninstalled.

Watch out I bought the HD version an now they want me to pay again. Stick with the free.
