WHY WE'RE OBSESSED

It answers a question that is surprisingly hard to answer quickly in ordinary map apps: how much shade will there actually be here?

Seeing shadows move across a familiar place is immediately legible in a way raw sun-angle data is not.

It is practical for planning and also weirdly mesmerizing to play with.

Don't just take our word for it. Experience ShadeMap yourself!
