Decide where to park your car, where to place a chair, and when the sun reaches your balcony, without leaving it to chance. Using your phone's camera, location and compass, ShadowMap scans a spot and computes the sun and shade status for every hour of the day with the NOAA solar position algorithm, entirely on your device. WHAT YOU CAN DO Shadow Analysis Stand at a spot and scan around you, mark obstacles (buildings, trees, walls) or openings (windows), and get an hour-by-hour sun and shade timeline. Real results with indoor and outdoor modes, face count and top (open/closed) support. Live Sun Tracking Raise the camera to see the sun's real position, its daily path and sunrise/sunset points, live on screen. Sun / Shade Compass Choose "Go to sun" or "Go to shade" and a duration.
