I downloaded an app called "SkEye" (free) and after playing with it for a couple of days, I prefer it to the Google Sky Map. It works very similarly, though it doesn't have the offset problem we've been discussing that plagues GSM. It also has a "push to" feature with a constant read-out of where the bulls-eye cursor is aiming. Messier objects and selected NGC objects are in the database, as well as named stars and solar-system objects. I'm going to uninstall Google Sky Map and go with SkEye for a while, unless I find any deal-breaker bugs. So-far, though, I like it.
