Description of Sun Position Map

Change date/time with either a slider, or precise buttons.
Shows a camera's field of view indicator in landscape and portrait modes
Shows position of starts, constellations and Messier objects
To access all of the settings options note that the settings can scroll both up and down and side to side.
To use the compass, click the navigator icon on the right, and the heading indicator will turn on.
Line up the heading indicator line with any of the sun line, sunrise or sunset lines, and the direction the phone is facing is the direction the sun will be.
The compasses in phones are pretty inaccurate, you can usually increase the accuracy by moving the phone around in a figure-eight pattern.
You can also gauge the accuracy by pointing the phone towards the sun and observing how far off it is.
Permissions: This app doesn't require any extra permissions than what is absolutely necessary to function.
It uses the Google Maps API which requires access to external storage and network access.
Additionally it requires access to location data to show your current position.
I do not track or collect any information about users of this app, but I cannot speak for any tracking or collection the Google Maps API does.

  Does exactly what it says. Fantastic app with a clever user interface/data portrayal. Be sure to check out his other apps, there are MANY useful reference & conversion/equivalency apps (even this one, I use exclusively outside of photography, & not that often... BUT WHEN I NEED IT, it's almost a life saver! ) but the others are great for mechanics, engineers, do-it-yourselfers, etc.. Thank you so much for this, what a fantastic contribution. [ several descriptive help screens would be useful ]

  Works well, could do with an update like adding the ability to show/hide/change opacity of the various elements onscreen.

  I've had this app for years, it's very helpful if your at or nearby the location. I really really wish there were an option to search an address or location though, it would be a total game changer.

  Very good. Some text is difficult to see, that's all.
