Feature request: add option for devices without compass #19

I really love SkyMap. Thanks to the developers for developing such a nice app.

This is no bug but a feature request. At the moment SkyMap can be used on 
devices without compass only in manual mode. In auto mode changing the back 
azimuth is not possible.

Still the acceleration sensor should provide enough information to align the 
screen to the pointing direction, even without compass. It just has to be 
aligned once which could be done in the manual mode. It would be nice if there 
was an option to enable such a feature. This option could also be automatically 
enabled if no compass is detected.

If you think this is not feasible feel free to close the request.
