Sun Locator predicts the sun and moon position and path at a specific location during the course of a day. Anticipate lighting conditions in photography/filming, real estate, architecture, outdoor activities (e.g. setting up camp), solar panel positioning, gardening, and more. ★ The Main View displays all the detailed information: sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset, blue hour, golden hour, solar noon, twilight times, moon phase and much more ★ The Camera View displays the solar position and lunar position directly overlaid on your device's camera. Use the slider to set the time of day and directly track the solar movement. [A device with a magnetometer (compass) is needed to use the AR feature] ★ The Map feature displays the solar and lunar location, direction and shadow on a map to help you plan your activities. *Photography: when and where will the sun rise and set? When are the Blue hour and the golden hour? When and where will the moon shine tonight? *Gardening: do your plants get enough direct sunlight during the course of the day and year? *Real estate: does a neighboring building obstruct the sun and cause shade? *Architecture: How much sunshine will your home get?
