Bench! vs Bench de Soleil

Bench! turns every walk into a little adventure and makes sure you never find yourself without a place to sit for your snack break on a hike. The map shows you every bench in your area — automatically pulled from the largest OpenStreetMap database. Mark the benches you've already sat on, upload a photo, leave a rating, or add a comment. Over time, this builds your own personal collection of favorite spots. And if you discover a new bench, you can add it too, contributing to what's probably the world's best bench database. FEATURES - Map with all benches from OpenStreetMap, standard and satellite view - Compass navigation: arrow and distance to the nearest unvisited or visited bench - Bench list with filters (all, visited, open) and search radius - Photo per visit, straight from camera or photo library - Ratings and comments - Add your own benches when one is missing, to share it with the community - Report incorrect or vanished benches and hide them - Collection with photo mosaic of recent visits - Achievements for special milestones - Light and dark mode design - Haptic feedback for all key actions - Report offensive or inappropriate content COMMUNITY Share the benches you've discovered with others and see which ones are the most popular. DATA SOURCE Bench data © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL).

Bench de Soleil maps thousands of public benches across Denmark and shows which are in the sun and which are in the shade — right now, or at any time you choose. It doesn't guess from the time of day. It computes real sun and shade from building footprints, tree canopy, and terrain elevation, then blends in the live cloud forecast — so a bench that's geometrically sunny but under heavy cloud shows as shaded, just like real life. FEATURES • One seamless map of benches across all of Denmark • A time slider — see sun and shade now, later today, or tomorrow • Live cloud-cover forecast folded into every bench • Find the nearest sunny or shady bench from where you are • Filter benches by what's nearby — playground, café, water, toilets, and more • Save favourites and see their sun/shade at a glance • Walking directions to any bench in your maps app • Light and dark mode; English and Danish • Built for VoiceOver and Dynamic Type PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your location stays on your phone except when you ask for the nearest bench. Bench data is from OpenStreetMap; buildings and terrain from GeoDanmark and the Danish elevation model; the cloud forecast from Met Norway. Sun and shade are best-effort estimates — use your own judgement.
