## What is bright?

Find the sunniest walking route using real-time sun position. Or shadiest - your call.

1) Tap a start and end point on the map, 2) select your sun or shade preference, and 3) bright calculates the route that maximizes your sun (or shade) exposure based on where the sun actually is right now.

What else bright helps you out with:

- Find places open right now filtered by sun or shade - cafes, bars, parks, and restaurants
- Save your frequently taken routes - bright recalculates sun and shade every time you open them, so you never walk the non-perfect route
- Save spots - sunny benches or shady terraces - and use them as route endpoints
- Set your default sun/shade mode, map style, and detour tolerance
- Share a route or spot with anyone via link - no account needed to view
