Your ideal campsite. Perfectly positioned for the sun. Stellkurs calculates the optimal orientation of your camper at the campsite – precisely, clearly, and directly on your iPhone.

Whether you want sun in front of your camper in the morning, shade in the afternoon, or want to better align your solar panel: Stellkurs shows you how your camper should be positioned. THIS IS WHAT STELLKURS CAN DO • Calculate the optimal orientation for sun, shade, or a sensible compromise • View the sun's path and shadows live on the map • Display the sun's path at the campsite in AR mode • Place your 3D camper and check the shadows directly on-site • Guide your camper precisely using the live compass and alignment arrow • Detect obstacles such as trees, buildings, or slopes • Align your solar panel • Align your satellite dish with supported satellites • Use a spirit level for a level pitch • Save campsites as favorites with notes HOW IT WORKS 1.
