Find my Sun

Most sunset apps tell you when the sun goes down. Find my Sun tells you where to go to actually see it.

In hills and mountains, the sun often disappears behind a ridge long before the astronomical sunset. Find my Sun traces the whole path of the sun over a real 30 m terrain model (Copernicus GLO-30) and shows, on a map, which spots still have a clear view of the sun at sunset and which are blocked. For example, in Val Gardena on 21 June a naive calculation promises a high, colourful sunset at 1.8°, while the sun really sets behind the Sassolungo at 29.8°, almost two hours earlier.
