Sky Safari Plus/Pro now supports NEOs like 2012 DA14

Wonder if I can beat Tim/Bill to the punch. :P

Released today. There is a warning for Android. If on starting the second or third time after upgrading it downloads the data again, leave it at least 10 minutes before starting it again. This appears to be a Google problem.

Mmmm, tried updating SS+ on my Nexus 7 and am getting the repeated download problem.
I'll give it an hour and see what happens...

Since it appears to be still happening, here's are a couple of postings from Tim and Bill about the download issue:
which was reported to fix it and did preserve settings, andandSo far this hadn't worked for those who had tried it.

Success!

Re-installed SS+ (1.7.3) and updated minor planet data, all appears to be working just fine!

Thanks Andrew, Tim, Bill :thumbsup:

Mine keept looping through the download and install of new data post update. After data download and install, when you try minor planets update it says you need to complete download and install of data. So exit and open again and again the download and install happens. Just keeps looping. So uninstalled and reinstalling now, hopefully will resolve.

Reinstall has fixed it. I can now locate DA14 excellent. Thx

Latest on the Android version from Southern Stars.

First, if your device now seems to redraw slowly:



Second, if you've got 1.7.3 working properly you don't need this one.
