I use the Viewranger ordnance survey mapping software on my 5800. This has a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and uses the GPS and direction of travel to orientate itself. I have never been successful with it. I wish the hardware compass had been fitted to two otherwise very good Nokia phones?

I'm still really looking forward to being able to use Stellarium on my N900 though.

And be blessed that there is no compass, that is the biggest source of errors in the skyscout.
Google "Celestron SkyScout" if you don't understand the last sentence.

In all cases, GPS and accelerometer support should be implemented as Stellarium plug-ins, so using that feature and the initialization that it requires would be optional.

Assuming you already have the stellarium package (stellarium_0.10.3r4182-1_armel) in your downloads folder, here's what I did to get it all working finally:

1.) Go to Applications Manager --> UnInstall and make sure there is not a copy of Stellarium installed. If so, uninstall.

2.) Enable Extras-Devel Repository (proceed at your own risk)

3.) In Terminal as root, run:

apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-core libqt4-maemo5-opengl libqt4-maemo5-network libqt4-maemo5-gui libqt4-maemo5-script libqt4-maemo5-svg libqt4-maemo5-test libqt4-maemo5-xml libqt4-maemo5-dbus libgles1 libgles1-sgx-img libgles2 libgles2-sgx-img opengles-sgx-img-common

4.) cd MyDocs/.documents/downloads

5.) dpkg -i stellarium_0.10.3r4182-1_armel.deb

Bingo! Should work after that. Remember to un-enable Extras-Devel when you're done.

Good luck!

When you pan the view all the way down... does it show your sneakers?
