You've only gone and done it again! Great widget, 5 stars from me.

Good point - I had got used to touchtheSky having separate About and Config drawers, with a constant toolbar. So it was just a matter of switching to the drawer you want. This one handles differently, so I shouldn't have made the config come up by default.

One for 1.02, I think!

I was stuck on the settings view and I couldn't find the button to get me out of there.

Same here...

Great idea, I wish there would be something for the US.

Btw, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to see the maps. I was stuck on the settings view and I couldn't find the button to get me out of there.

The 1.0 version has a known glitch with not redrawing the Google Map correctly if the map is not currently displayed and your location changes.

Edit: all fixed in 1.01!
