Any place. Its own time.

Planning there. Standing here.

Most weather and planning views use the place selected at the top of the app. Live instruments use the phone’s physical position and sensors. Keeping those two uses separate lets you plan for a distant place while still pointing a camera at the sky above you.

Choose a planning place

Use Change to choose your device location, search for a place, drop a pin or enter coordinates. Forecasts and planning calculations follow that selection where the tool supports them.

Planning times use the selected place’s local clock. A named time zone and offset appear with the place, so a distant sunrise or sunset is read as local time there.

Choose a day or time

Use the date and time controls in the tool you are using. An annual table selects a year; solstice tools show their seasonal context. Stargazing refers to the night beginning on the selected date.

A planning date does not turn a current reading into a historical one. Weather, wind, tide and environmental sections keep the coverage and live/forecast labels supplied by their source. A date beyond a forecast’s range may have no data.

Tools that use your actual position

Sky finder uses the current time and physical location. Live Sun and Moon camera or compass trackers use the phone’s position and heading. Emergency signal and location uses the device’s coordinates.

Changing the planning place does not move the phone or change where those instruments point. For camera overlays, local magnetic interference, camera tracking and manual alignment also affect the match.
