SunCast's terrain shadows show when the hills around your route or campsite will block the sun, and the AR view shows where it will rise over the real skyline. Use both to pick a pitch with early warmth or afternoon shade, and to know how much direct daylight you have left on the trail.

At camp, hold up your iPhone to see where the sun will rise and set against the real skyline. The AR view and sun calculations work without a signal.
Plan natural light through windows, shade in your garden, or scout outdoor shots without leaving your couch.
Before you set off, check the campsite or trailhead on the 3D map at the times that matter: when the morning sun reaches it and when evening shade arrives. The map needs a data connection, so look before you lose signal.
Perfect for finding sunny spots, scouting locations, or figuring out which apartment gets light in winter.
Hourly cloud cover next to sunrise and sunset times, so you can see whether a summit sunrise is worth the early start.
See realistic 3D shadows cast by hills, ridges and valleys as the sun moves across the day — not just a static shaded-relief map.
Explore a future date and time to see when a valley falls into shade, when a ridge blocks a view, or which slope catches the first light.
Set an alarm or notification for sunrise, sunset and other sun events, tailored to the moments you want to catch.
Get a prompt before the light changes so you can reach your viewpoint, set up your camera or simply step outside in time.
