Amazing tool for outdoor fans.
I used shadowmap on my road trip in my van to find the best sunset and sunrise spots every day. We also run a glamping business and we used shadowmap to decide where to set up the tents so that they would have the perfect location in terms of not getting too hot in summer but still being able to enjoy BBQ in the golden light of sunset. I’m finding new ways how shadowmap can help me all the time. Looking for a new house, we are checking every potential candidate on shadowmap for the ideal lighting. Amazing tool that so far worked on every location I tried it. 5 stars!!

When I have needed Shadow Map and have used it, particularly when I am unable to scout locations in advance, it has proven itself incredibly useful over the course of the nearly two years. I recommend it highly, including its staff who have always been super-responsive and helpful.
