''... the chariman’s favorite iPhone app is Vito Technology’s Star Walk, a simple astronomy application that harnesses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities to present an on-screen view of what stars and constellations should be visible on a clear night from your current location.''

ATTENTION: iPhone’s DIGITAL COMPASS works only on 3GS finding your orientation and showing you the sky in front of you in real-time. You can pan the iPhone’s display around and watch the stars scroll around. With 3G, others and iPod Touch this function works only with up&down movements.

For iPod Touch users please use manual selection of locations if Wifi is not available.
