“ShadeMap is a global simulation of mountain, building and tree shadows for any date and time. ShadeMap calculates shadow positions in realtime and displays them on a map. ShadeMap can display how many hours of sun or shadow a specific location gets over the course of a day and even over the course of an entire year. What can I use ShadeMap for? Anything! I use ShadeMap to plan outdoor activites like rock climbing, skiing and mountaineering. My wife and I also used ShadeMap to find everyone shade for our summer backyard wedding. Below is a list of ideas from our users:

• Sun mapping for gardens, permaculture and landscaping
