See where the shade will be.

Sun Shade Map turns the sun’s position into a readable 3D city view. Search a place, choose a date, then move through the day to compare sunlight across streets, patios, parks, roofs, and building walls.

Time-specific building shadows

Solar azimuth and elevation are calculated for the selected instant, while Mapbox terrain and 3D structures render the scene from that direction.

Weather-aware sunlight

Turn Weather on to adjust the map lighting with forecast cloud cover for the selected place and time. Outside the forecast window, the map shows clear-sky light. For annual analysis, visit Property insights.

Location stays optional

Search works without location access. If you choose current location, the browser uses it only to move the map for this session.

Sun positions use deterministic NOAA solar equations. Map data and 3D rendering are provided by Mapbox. Building geometry varies by location and should be used for planning, not survey-grade analysis. Weather: Environment Canada · National Weather Service · Open-Meteo.
