This is a great idea for an improvement to an excellent program. I was going to make the same suggestion myself. This would allow someone to see the earliest or latest time of the year when a certain location directly sees sunrise/sunset/noon/etc.
Love this idea, wanted to make same suggestion of having a bar from 1 Jan to 31 Dec to scroll like if it was a timelapse the changes during the entire year. Awesome app/website anyway, the best
I'd say that a slider for the days is even more important than the one for the hours. Your graphic shows what happens through the day, without it even needing the animation. The change from day-to-day through the year/seasons is what's really needed. I haven't seen anything like it before. It should be very useful.
A graph on the side to show the tilt would complete the package. Thanks
Same thought to be able to move the cursor over the entire year. Add a little sun icon to the end of the specified time perhaps, too? Thanks, though...very useful.
Please add a slider that can be set for day/month/quarter...etc. It would be awesome to see how the sun's path moves as you click from day to day (in a month) or month to month (in a year).
Please consider this another vote for this suggested feature! Already an excellent application, but being able to watch the sun angles throughout the year would be superb!
Just bought a house and this has been invaluable - then wanted to make it easier or through the year- but many people are ahead of me for the double slider idea of tracking through the year .
Great tool this - thanks
i love your app and i really need this because my wife urged me to move and while we're looking for a new home, the coolest inner climate the better, so we know the best way is to look for houses with proper orientation... but as other guys have said, we need to know sun path along the year, not only for a day
You could use the same slider, just add a toggle to +/- 12 months, +/- 12 weeks (same day). +/- 12 days may not make as much sense, and won't show much change in most normal cases.
Great app as is though! Very helpful with house planning, etc.
YES!!! I agree, a slider to set the day of the year would be highly desirable! EXAMPLE: From the beautiful beaches of Kaanapali on Maui, you look out over the ocean and can see the islands of Lanai and Molokai. But during parts of the year, that means that you CANNOT see the sun set into the ocean. So, the question is, fo what range of dates does the sun set over the ocean, between Lanai and Molokai? You can zoom down to Maui and Kaanapali, and get the sunset line to show between those two islands. However, the date setting widget is very termpermental.
Air Conditioning engineers and technicians would use a date slider to great advantage. Solar angles are very important for load calculation and air distribution systems as well as recognizing comfort problems.
