Some new users of "Astro Info" will be confused
when they open the star view and see no stars,
even though they send the stars file to the PDA.
There's a warning on-screen, but a new user won't
know what to do to fix the problem.
In the short term, I suggest that the following
be added to the "Configure" documentation:
Selecting Object Catalogs
If you want a star view with more than a few
objects, you'll need to select from the
object catalog. If you installed the "Star" file,
do the following:
* Press the "Menu" button on the PDA.
* Choose "Object Catalogs".
* Select "Yale Bright Stars", then press "Open".
In the longer term, it'd be nice if the program
did this more automatically.. but I'll make
that a separate bug report.

Must have missed this one - sorry!
It is an issue. We have updated the next release to display a
more specific message the first time you visit the sky map
without any open catalogues.
We have grander plans, but that's it for now.
