Shadow Planner

• Sun path. The sun's track arcs over the map — amber where your spot holds sun, blue-grey where a building blocks it. The beads are hours; the big one is the time you're scrubbed to. • Shade timeline. Tap a spot and see when it holds direct sun and when it goes into shade, read off the real buildings and terrain around it. • Sun times. Sunrise, solar noon, sunset, golden hour morning and evening, civil dusk and the length of the day. • Snapshots are now a letter-size page. Same on every device, with a header carrying the location, date, time, sun position, sunrise and sunset, your rig, and the lifts that actually reach the distance you measured. • Saved places. Name a location and come back to it with its camera angle, date, time, every frame, the measurement and the shade point still in place. Long-press a row to rename it. • Measuring and the shade view work at the same time now. • On iPad you can drag the menu panels into whatever order you work in, and it's remembered. • A tidier menu: the panels sit in a more sensible order, the map buttons are clear of the map's own controls on iPad, and the phone no longer carries a second copy of the time slider. • Feet or metres, everywhere, with one switch. Gear names stay as they are on the truck. • The app carries its map engine and fonts inside it, so it opens faster and a hiccup at someone else's server can't leave you staring at a blank screen. • Fixed: picking a date from the picker didn't move the sun. • Fixed: the locate button went to whatever you were looking at instead of where you are. • Fixed: buttons stayed lit after you tapped them.
