Venus Atlas for the iPhone and iPod Touch

Let's take a trip to the stars, shall we? Ok , ok, I don't want to upset the astronomers in the crowd: we're not going to the stars, but rather a planet. Specifically, Venus. Venus Atlas provides a false color topographic map of Venus, along with many points of interest (no Starbucks, though...). It looks to do a great job of allowing you to get a better feel for the lay of the land on Venus, but truthfully, we don't have another Venus map app to compare it to (yet). 

At $2.99, it might be a little too expensive for those who just want to take a quick look at another planet. But for those who are deeply interested in astronomy and the solar system, Venus Atlas does what it says it does.
