Hi Andrés,
About Celnav on Androïd, I confirm that Astrolab (v3.1) runs on Androïd with no problem.
You simply need a DOS emulator, as for game playing.
Astrolab provides:
- automatic ephemerids for Sun, visible planets and stars;
- Sun LAN latitude & longitude, through LMS quadratic regression;
- a Fix by 2, 3, or n celestial sights using coplanar vertices method and pseudo inverse matrix algorithm;
- a running fix by 2, 3, or n, using the same approach;
It's all for he moment.
The use of photographic facilities of the smartphone is not yet proposed (only some trials has been made with Sun and Moon).
