NavPak Celestial Navigator
Includes Almanac, sight reduction, plotting, great circles and Zenith Star Navigation. Also has a star/planet Identifier, DR calculator, and TSD calculator.
There is a Globe View, Sky View, and Star Chart to help identify stars and planets.
This is a free app which is valid until the end of 2020. Please see our website where there is a tutorial for NavPak Android, and other info.
NavPak reads and writes 2 small files in your storage to save your sights and settings. It will not read or write any other files.
If you are updating a previous version of NavPak:
After updating, please verify that it says: Dec 5, 2019 in the "About NavPak" panel. This is located below the main menu when you start the app. If the date shown is previous to Dec 5, then go to Settings->Apps->NavPak, delete the storage for the app, and reinstall it. This should be handled automatically by the App Store distribution system, however in some cases, it may not.

hay..u put GP star on map really great job . what I was asking for ..if possible give planet rout lines on Earth surface .
Ugly, overly busy and distracting GUI.
It is really what iwant
love it
The latitude scale on the Plot screen is out by 1 degree. My Assumed latitude is 29 degrees S but it appears as 28 degrees S on the Plot screen. The calculated fix is correct however (numbers but not plot).
Nicely done! Love the globe view. FINALLY! an app that shows the GP of sun, moon, planets, and stars projected on a globe. Haven't really used this to navigate, but seems to work well. Graphics may seem a bit crude, hopefully this will be better in future updates. The input screens may be a bit difficult on small devices. Minor picking aside, this would be a very nice addition to any navigators toolbox. Many useful features. Thanks so much. Looking forward to future updates.
Thanks Global Navigation. Very Helpful app. I use it often
Looks like it's gonna be one of the best of its kind for the mariners!
Learning, or relearning celestial navigation is so much different with modern tools. This is amazing, and coupled with a maneuvering board I love this! Thank you so much for your obvious extreme effort here.
