I live in Bologna (Italy). I have found the software casually on Internet. Great software, very nice for planet localization and planning for planetary observation with telescope. I have posted it on a italian forum. Sorry for my bad english... Thank You Maurizio

GPS support would be great to locate where you are.

Hi everybody. This nice app works fine under my Nokia 6630, congratulations. An useful extension would be to allow to quickly shift forward/backward also the date elements (or at least the day), so that the movement of planets/sun/moon can be made visible at larger scales. Another improvement could be a simple tracking function, allowing to select a body and keep it fixed while other bodies and the celestial sphere move. This could be enriched by a simple zoom function, allowing to get a closer view of the surroundings of the tracked body.

You are right about this behaviour. A simple workaround is to select a city on the southern hemisphere first (like Sydney) and then choose location selection from the menu. The minus sign will appear and you will be able to enter a negative latitude.

Hi, I live in Johannesburg, a city that is not in the city list. Being south of the equator, I need to enter the latitude as a negative number. The phone's dialog box/editor does not appear to allow the use of the hyphen - symbol. Typing the *+ key brings up a "select symbol" dialog, but with only the symbols "* + p w". There is no - symbol. How do I enter a negative latitude? Best regards, Steve A

You can download PlanetFinder for developer platform 1.2 from here. It has been tested by NewLC readers on both a 3660 and a SX1 phone.

Hi there!

I would indeed be interested in a version for the 3650 / 3660 and would therefore be glad if you posted it to helltex@freenet.de.

Thanks in advance!

Dirk.

PlanetFinder doesn't work in 3650 because it is compiled with Developer Platform 2.0 SDK, while 3650 needs Platform 1.x. I've compiled it with Platform v1.2 SDK and tested it in the emulator but I have no compatible phone for testing. If anyone is interested, please reply here. I could send the sis file via e-mail.

Seems it is not compatable with the Nokia 3650.

PlanetFinder, a great Applet. It runs properly in Nokia 6670, but it would be better to have an option to show some bright star names.
