"Moon Map Pro continues to be one of my most-used apps."
– Rod Mollise, Contributing Editor, Sky & Telescope, March 2015.

This app has two sets of maps. The first one covers most of the nearside and contains about 1200 named lunar formations. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter maps cover the whole Moon: over 8000 names, including lettered craters. You can toggle between maps using Map button.

To view a map click on a map number in the scrollable index map. You can scroll around the map and mirror and rotate it. You can zoom in and out by pinching. You can also zoom in by double tap and zoom out by two-finger tap.

Tap Search button to select a name from a list. Over 1800 lunar formations included. Lunar coordinates are in coordinate frame LOLA 2011.

On iPhone screen 1 mm is about 3 km on the moon with maximum zoom. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter maps: on iPhone screen 1 mm is about 1.3 km on the moon with maximum zoom.

Map numbering system is from Lunar Astronautical Charts (LAC).

You can see current data (e.g. terminator) and in calculations view you can see data backward and forward in time.

Bon début...

Un rapide petit avis, lidée est très bonne, loeil à locculaire ce nest pas toujours très facile de manier une vraie carte. Deux petites remarques, en mode miroir, le texte devrait être lisible ... et pourquoi pas tous les sites apollo pointés sur la carte en rouge? Un petit moteur de recherche par nom qui pointerait dabord la carte puis 1/4 puis limage finale du cratère recherché. Joli petit programme, simple et efficace.

Naja

Enthält zwar viele Namen, die zerstückelten Karten machen das Bewegen auf dem Mond umständlich, sobald man eine anschließende Karte benötigt. Es gibt Mondspps, bei denen die gesamte Fläche nahtlos abgedeckt wird. Für mich das Geld nicht wert

Nicht so toll.

Gibt deutlich bessere Apps. Mal mit Moon globe Hd. Oder Moon globe lite.

Good reference

Version 1.1 on iPod with 2.2.1 OS A very nice pocket reference. Its like having a copy of Rukl in your hand. Easy to use and a good level of detail. The mirror funcion is a help when working at the eyepiece. (Adding a vertical mirror option would be good for reflector users.) Besides the additional orientation option, a red-light night vision mode would be a nice addition.

An excellent observing tool!

This App provides excellent detailing of Lunar features which have been made even better with the inclusion of the Lunar Orbiter maps. If you have a telescope and like to explore the Moon, this is the best map utility you can have with you at the eyepiece. You can easily find features and even the landing points for the Apollo missions and other spacecraft. There is enough detail in these maps for astronomers with large instruments to identify the smaller craters, etc. You will find it fascinating.

Great aid to amateur astronomers!

Excellent use of the iPhone to make the details of the moon portable, useable, and identifiable. Programmer is quick and responsive to questions. The only thing that would make it even more useful is a "search" feature to find the extensive surface features available on this app. The programmer assures me this is on his list for future releases. Great job!

Nice app

Works exactly as advertised. Only missing a few features: -Search function as previous reviewer commented would be very useful. -I wish the mirror option didnt also mirror the text. Hard to read it this way. -Please add the apollo landing sites as well as the other missions like you did on the less expensive version of this app. Shouldnt it be on the Pro version? Will definitely revise my rating to 5 stars if a few of these features get updated. UPDATED: Developer added many of the requested features. Changed my review to 5 stars. Thank you!
