FAQ
How do I know sunrise/sunset direction in advance?
Set a location and date, and the map draws the sunrise direction (orange line) and sunset direction (red line). The direction changes seasonally, so use it to plan compositions before a shoot.
What does the map rotation do?
On mobile, tapping My Location rotates the map to match the direction you're facing using the compass sensor, so the top of the screen matches your real-world view.
How do I see the current sun position?
Move the time slider to display the sun's position (azimuth and altitude) for that moment, so you know where the sun is even on cloudy days.
Can I use it on PC?
Click the map to set a location and you'll see sunrise/sunset directions and times on PC too. Compass rotation and level require mobile sensors.
