LightTrac - App for More Than Just Realtors!

posted on January 11, 2012

 The app called LightTrac is touted as an excellent one for realtors, but this is an app that many professions will find useful. It provides the direction of the sun at sunrise, sunset and at the exact time that you happen to be looking at the app. It uses GPS to determine your location and displays the sunrise as a yellow line, the sunset as a blue line and the current direction of the sun as a white line, all displayed over a satellite map of your location. Use the slide bar to move forward in time and see where the sun will be on any given day at any hour. Read more »
