| The most important problems with Sky Map and how to fix them |
Sky Map allows you to view and locate stars, planets, and constellations. However, since there are so many different Android phone models out there, there are many issues that prevent it from working properly.
The most important problems with Sky Map and how to fix them
An Android phone that supports GPS, compass and accelerometers is required to use this app. To check if your phone is compatible with the app, you can use this link to visit the app's website in the Google Play Store.
If you find a message that the app is available for your phone, then the problem is not with your phone. You can try the following solutions to fix the problem:
Remove the memory card before installing the Sky Map app
If you are using a relatively old Android version, please remove the internal memory card before installing the application. After installation, you can re-insert the card if necessary and move the application to the card.
Activate automatic mode
The app has a manual mode that requires you to swipe your finger across the screen to see the sky. This can cause the application to crash or crash. Therefore, you need to activate the automatic mode, which focuses the screen on the area of the sky you are viewing.
Recalibrate the compass and GPS
You can do this by moving the phone to a number of eight to activate the sensor. And automatically reset the position as you hold the phone and realign it more precisely. There is also a calibration option in the Google Sky Maps settings that you can use to enable calibration.
If the app is still not working after calibrating your phone, make sure you are away from electrical devices or magnetic materials that can interfere with the phone's sensors.
Activate location services on your phone
The location service feature of the Sky Map app allows you to use your phone's GPS sensor to determine your exact location. You'll also need to enable the GPS option in the app's settings menu for it to work permanently.
This app will prevent your WiFi location from being used instead of your GPS location. This is less accurate and can cause display alignment issues.
