Description
Sun Surveyor predicts Sun & Moon positions (azimuth, altitude, time)
with a 3D Compass, Interactive Map, Augmented Reality and a Details
Ephemeris. Sun Surveyor is useful for film and photo location scouting,
architecture, solar panel positioning, gardening, real estate, film grips,
Earth Science geekery, and more! Plan for every sunrise and sunset!
Use the interactive controls to:
- Predict and plan for the golden hour, blue hour and every sunrise,
sunset, moonrise and moonset
- Find the time of year and angle to shoot a location at sunrise or
sunset, or compositions involving the Moon
- View augmented reality projections of the Sun and Moon paths,
pinpoint the time the sun or moon will be at a particular location in
the sky
- Visualize the Sun and Moon throughout the day or over a year for any
location on the earth
- Observe the Summer and Winter Solstice paths & Equinox paths for
any location
Features:
- Sun & Moon bearing and altitude, Sunrise & Sunset, Shadow Ratio,
Moon Rise & Set, Moon Phase & Illumination %, Twilight Times (Civil,
Nautical, Astronomical), Summer and Winter Solstice Paths, Equinox
Paths, Golden Hour and Blue Hour Times, Solar Noon, Upcoming Moon
Phase dates
- 3D Compass - A 3D projection of Sun and Moon positions and events

orientation in the world
- Augmented Reality - View through the device's camera, visualize
where the sun and moon will be in the sky, or when they will move
behind a building
- Map View - A top-down view of Sun and Moon event positions
overlaid onto an interactive map . Lock down your shooting point and

API featuring Terrain maps and rotation and tilting of the map view.
Also features elevation lookups and the ability to determine difference
in vertical angles between two locations.
- Time Machine Slider - Visualize events for a single day, or watch the
days get longer and shorter and the Moon's path get further and
closer throughout a year

** NOTE: the 3D Compass and Augmented Reality portions of this app
make use of your device's compass. Some devices (HTC One V, HTC
Desire C, etc) do not have a compass. The Maps and Details portion
will remain unaffected. I do not ban any devices from installing this
app, as some people have more than one device, such as tablets
without cameras, or compasses, and I will gladly refund users if the
app is not working for them.
