SunMapSee sun and shade coming, wherever you are.
A shaded terrace at the height of summer, a sunlit bench the rest of the year: SunMap computes cast shadows in real time and draws them on the map.
Innovative technology
The exact exposure of any place at any moment.
Watch shadows spread across the map in real time. Tap anywhere to check sun hours, accounting for buildings, terrain and vegetation.
Sun and shade, live — buildings, trees and terrain cast their shadows: the exact exposure, at any moment.
Plan around the hours — find out at what time a spot flips into shade or sun.
Covered areas — France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom — more countries coming soon.
Geographic coverageIn the city
The shaded terrace, the sunlit bench.
Spot bar and café terraces in the shade or in the sun — and as soon as temperatures drop, the public bench or picnic table with the best exposure to make the most of every ray.
Bar and café terraces — in the shade at the height of summer, in the sun the rest of the year.
All street furniture — public benches, picnic tables, playgrounds and street workout stations — not just terraces.
Outdoors
A bivouac in the morning sun, or in the shade.
Pick a bivouac spot sheltered from the sun — or well exposed at first light — before you even pitch the tent.
Solar compass — sunrise, sunset and the sun’s position at the chosen time.
Terrain and vegetation built in — shadows of peaks, valleys and trees, live.
Augmented reality
Look up: the sun’s course is already in the sky.
Point your phone at the sky and SunMap draws the sun’s path over the camera, exactly where it belongs. You can see at a glance which ridge it will pass behind, and when it will reach your spot.
The day’s full path — the whole arc from sunrise to sunset, overlaid on the real landscape.
Scrub through the hours — the sun travels along its arc while you stay right where you are.
Information the map never had, at last.
Terrace, bench or bivouac: SunMap gives you a place’s precise solar exposure, at any time.
