A Sun and Moon calendar. The Sunset, Sunrise, Moonset, Moonrise, Transits, Moonphases, distances and positions on the sky are calculated based on the actual GPS time and position which we get from the ttn application via file interface. This could, in future, be extended to calculate and show the rise and set times, as well as the exact positions on the sky of all planets, comets etc. The picture view could also be enlaged to have a more detailed view including stars. Then, the TomTom becomes a valuable tool for (hobby)-astronomers who want to exactly position their telescopes to the objects of interest.

Known bugs
- After upgrading to navcore 9, it doesn't work anymore. It starts but after a second the screen goes back to the navigation mode. I can see that the application is still running on the background because once in a while a piece of screen shows the application but you cannot see what is going on because most of the time you see the navigation screen. I think the problem is just with a new window management of the new navcore.--Lapo Mori 16:09, 24 February 2010 (CET)
