The star catalogs are not in a standard format and only accessible within astroinfo. You may need to install them into the palm internal memory, not on an external memory card (I think this is your problem). Then open astroinfo, choose "Catalogs" from the menu, then click on the select button. You should see the installed catalogs listed.=20 Select one of the catalogs and you get the list of the stars it contains. After that, the sky map should also show the stars from the catalog. I hope to have this more intuitive in the next version. In this version the catalogs still need to be copied to internal memory, but this will be done automatically by the application launcher.
