Android lunar maps
LunarMap HD and LunarMap Lite
include some of the maps below, and have search and other features.

1. Notes
- These lunar maps are automatically generated from USGS Map-a-Planet data together with IAU lunar feature data. The projections are done with a modified version of Matthew's Map Projection Software, and then labels and ellipses are added with a PerlMagick script.
- As far as I know, USGS products are in the public domain as a work of the U.S. Government, mere data is not copyrightable, and I claim no copyright on the output of my map-generation scripts. So the maps should be public domain. Please feel free to use and reproduce as you wish.
- All the marked maps show at least 660 features, with the higher resolution ones showing more.
- For maps generated by the same scripts but with your custom lunar feature markings, go

2. Giant zoomable moon maps
All of these use a libration-expanded projection. Once you get the zoomable view, there is a "View original" link if you want to download the jpg file (say, for printing a large poster).

3. Standard orthographic projection
This is a standard projection that shows you all of the near side of the moon.

4. Libration-expanded orthographic projection
This projection is modified to show eight degrees of the far side of the moon, to account for
libration.
