It's not quite that bad. I've got a 16GB 3G and run Sky Voyager (as well as a few other astro apps) on it. The compass is not used by all of them and not required by any. It's a nice extra but not absolutely necessary. Heck, the PC and Mac versions of astro software have done fine without compass all these years.

The 3GS is much preferable over the 3G regardless, since it has twice the RAM and a faster CPU. With Sky Voyager and similar apps that really shows.

After almost 2 years with the 3G I'm looking forward to swapping it for a 4G this winter

Cheers
