Hello fellow users, I am very happy how useful the Hero is with my telescope. Google Sky Map is a good natal chart to follow the stars and constellations. I am looking for a program to show my GPS coords, so I can load where Im standing in the telescope directory. I have been using Wikipedia and looking for my city, but I'm sure there is some app out there that uses the gps and could show my West and North coords. Anyone know of any?

GPS Status will do that and a whole lot more for you.

another +1 for GPS Status, though I usually only use it to warm up the GPS for other programs
