## Description

Using a solar-powered battery, you can use this for navigation in very remote places or on the ocean. <br><br>You can integrate it with a NMEA 0183-capable marine plotter. <br><br>It is 100% based on open source, and can be used for learning about astronomy and practicing celestial navigation. It comes with no warranty or liability (MIT License). <br><br>Documentation is bundled with the app, and you can also find it here: https://github.com/alinnman/celestial-navigation/blob/main/APPDOC.md<br><br>More information can be found here: https://github.com/alinnman/celestial-navigation/blob/main/README.md
