Interactive sunrise/sunset map:

[i:dcd26eca4e]Here's the blurb[/i:dcd26eca4e] . . .

"With this map, you can find sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset times for 2011, 2012, and beyond, for any location worldwide, simply by clicking the map. The right time zone for the location will be selected automatically if possible, or you can choose one yourself."

(also available as an Android app)


[b:dcd26eca4e]TIP:[/b:dcd26eca4e] I carry a small compass which I use each evening before pitching my tent to pinpoint where sunrise will be on the horizon. In winter, I position the tent so it will catch the sun's first rays. In summer, I position the tent so it will be shaded. Monitor and adjust your readings as both the seasons and your location shift.

Cheers!

Now that is site selection! My old Garmin72 gps used to have a chart that followed these cycles and based on that even suggested the best hunting/ fishing but I no longer have it and went to an Etrex...
