Where should you go to watch the sunset tonight? Sunset Atlas answers that question. It scores every location by how good the sunset view will be, then shows the results as a color heatmap on an interactive map. Red means a great spot. Blue means skip it. Now also with cloud scoring feature, because we all know the quality of a sunset can change greatly depending on the clouds in the air at sunset time. No more guessing. No more blocked horizons. Just open the map, find the red, and go. ◆ HOW IT WORKS Sunset Atlas analyzes real terrain data to figure out how much of the sunset sky you can actually see from any point. It factors in hills, valleys, tree cover, open water, cliffs, and overlooks to produce a quality score from 0 to 100. This isn't just about where the sun sets. It's about where YOU should be standing. ◆ TOP SPOTS Tap "Find Best Spots" and the app searches around you for the highest-scoring viewpoints. Filter by proximity to roads, walking paths, or parking so you can find a spot that's as easy or adventurous as you like. ◆ SHARE WITH FRIENDS Found an amazing spot? Share it instantly via WhatsApp, Messenger, or any app on your phone. ◆ MULTIPLE MAP STYLES Switch between six base maps including street, terrain, satellite, topo, and dark mode.
