Heliora Alternatives

Heliora is described as 'Is "Street View for the sun." Drop a pin anywhere on Earth and get a 3D sky view from that exact spot, showing the sun's and moon's path across the sky against the real terrain horizon — decoded from elevation data, not a flat skyline' and is an website in the education & reference category. There are five alternatives to Heliora, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac apps. The best Heliora alternative is Viewpoint. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Suncalc. Other great sites and apps similar to Heliora are Sun Surveyor, Photopills and The Photographer's Ephemeris.
