A little online application with interactive map that shows sun movement and sunlight phases (with dawn, sunrise, sunset and dusk times) during the given day at the given location.
To make the help text more accessible and tell the user where they're going, avoid 'here', you could change:
"Please leave your ideas about improving SunCalc or vote for them [here],"
to:
"Please [leave your ideas about improving SunCalc] or...
Similar to the star chart apps. But with sun image overlaying the camera view. Include time slider to see where the sun is during day from your position.
First of all, I love SunCalc :) but on google maps, when you hold the streetview "man" with the cursor and drag him across the screen, the map scrolls left/right/up/down if you get to the edge of the screen. This means you don't have to release...
The world times zones are following country and provincial borders and not the meridian lines. It would be interesting to see how far out of the centre that noon is and a given location. Noon is thought to be due south but that is not always the...
The default date next to where you enter the address should be the current date. I would leave the default address line blank. This is a great website!
Great app! If you transferred this idea as a plugin for Google Earth, you could view the solar trajectory from multiple angles and this would overcome the difficulties of displaying elevation above the horizon (degrees) at any point in time. Could...
For any kind of design tool using solar position you need inclination above the horizon as well as declination or position east to west. If you could mouse over the current point on the sun line maybe it could give you the solar position at least...
a tough task to graphically represent 3d on a 2d image. But for me, I would benefit from a simple graphic overlay on the side with two lines - one in plane with the earth surface, the other pointing at the sun. This would show the angle of the...
Put dots on arc for northernmost and southernmost sunrise and sunset, so it is easier to see the range through the year. When buying property, it is important to know exactly where these points are.
I would like the direction lines to extend farther as I move and zoom so I can see if a place on the horizon is on the sunset or sunrise line. You seem to limit how far they extend from the origin point.
