Via Solis is designed for anyone needing to determine solar position and geographic orientation with high accuracy and precision. By integrating high-definition mapping with mathematical-physical models for solar orientation backed by astronomical precision, it turns your device into a powerful geographic compass. Key Features: - Astronomical Precision Calculations: Powered by the VSOP87 algorithm, the app calculates the exact position of the Sun with extreme accuracy. - Advanced HD Maps: Detailed and smooth interactive map visualization. - Geographic Orientation: Uses the calculated solar position to help you determine directional orientation anywhere, at any time. Why Use Via Solis? Whether you are a hiker, an astronomy enthusiast, a photographer searching for the perfect light, an engineer or designer working with solar energy, or simply curious about tracking the Sun's path, Via Solis delivers the reliable data you need. Note: The app requests GPS location access solely to calculate astronomical data and display the local map. No personal data is ever collected or transmitted to third parties.
