TPE is a map-centric sun and moon calculator: see how light will fall on earth, day or night, for almost anywhere on earth.
Ideal for landscape, wildlife, travel and outdoor photographers, TPE’s mapping approach allows you to search for any place name on the planet or place the map pin exactly where you want.
Advanced features include: automatic time zone and altitude detection, correction of atmospheric refraction and altitude above the horizon. You can even control when the sun or moon will be visible behind nearby hills and mountains.
Five types of maps are available, including two topographic maps, ideal for landscape and wildlife photographers. Open Street Map and Open Cycle Map Topographic have automatic offline support: any tiles you view are automatically cached for offline use.
