Star Chart Help:

Problems with Star Chart?

  • Ensure your iPhone is set to the correct time, and just as importantly, the correct time zome. Star Chart needs both these pieces of information in order to work.
     
  • Star Chart also needs to know where it is and so needs a GPS signal. If it displays LAT: 0.00 LON 0.00 in the top left then it doesn't have a GPS signal.
     
  • Sometimes the iPhone compass loses accuracy and needs recalibrating. If this happens, hold your iPhone out at arms length and make a figure-of-eight motion with your arm three or four times. This should recalibrate it.
     
  • Finally it only works on Earth, so please don't take it with you on interstellar missions - it'll only get you lost ;).
