Not entirely accurate. I used the map with sun overlay, to line up the perfect sunrise photo, with a distant lighthouse, the sun came up out the sea, and I had to walk south a few minutes to get the shot I had planned. The times were accurate, but not the direction. Editor response- Nothing to do with my compass because I wasn't using it, I'm using the lines drawn on the map in 2D mode.

Sorry you have had problems with the app. It might be that the compass sensor on your device needs calibrating. You can find instructions on this in the app. If you have any further questions on this you can contact us at [email protected]. Thanks.

Wonderful help for planning my garden and allotment in the winter months, identifying places that will get full sun and partial shade during the growing season, and selecting the varieties of vegetables and flowers accordingly. Very useful in the summer months to know when it will be light enough to do the watering and cool enough to move. I like photography and I try to stick to the 'golden hour' for walks so I get the perfect light if a a scene presents itself. Great app.

I run a fb group called 'Hardy Tropicals Gardening', where we grow exotic plants well outside their comfort zone. In order to get best survival rate, knowledge of sun and shade is critical. This app really takes the guesswork out when siting sensitive plants. In spring I grow shade plants to their maximum size, but in late summer/autumn they have to be cut back to allow winter sun. It is quite difficult visualising how low the sun will be in winter during August, and this app is perfect 👍
